Your Private Sky: R. Buckminster Fuller
by R. Buckminster Fuller, Claude Lichtenstein (Editor), Joachim Krausse (Editor), Museum Fur Gestaltung Zurich
Buckminster Fuller's talents bridged architecture, engineering, and industrial design, his designs among the most inventive of the 20th century. In their economy and conservation of energy, his works far exceeded anything envisioned by International Style architects of his time. This volume is the result of an exhibition held at five European design museums of archival documentation from the Buckminster Fuller Institute. Each chapter examines a design and includes substantial excerpts from Fuller's lectures, manuscripts, and publications in addition to sketches, photographs, patent application drawings, and engineering drawings.Engaging, visually stunning, and highly informative.
