WORLD DESIGN SCIENCE DECADE DOCUMENTS
Seven publications from the World Design Science Decade 1965-1975 series.
Doc. 1: "Inventory of World Resources, Human Trends and Needs," by R.B. Fuller;
Doc. 2: "The Design Initiative," by R.B. Fuller;
Doc. 3: "Comprehensive Thinking," by R.B. Fuller;
Doc.4:: "The Ten Year Program," by J. McHale;
Doc. 5: "Comprehensive Design Strategy," by R.B. Fuller (published in UTOPIA OR OBLIVION);
Doc. 6: "The Ecological Context," by J. McHale;
Doc. 7: "The World Game," by R.B. Fuller.


The documents were produced by Fuller and edited by John McHale, from 1965 to 1975, and remain an important educational tool. McHale summarized the intent of this work “as merely to provide a swift and comprehensive glance at certain fundamental trends in man’s present relation to the environment and indicate broadly how these trendings may relate to the forward task of assessing more completely mans present and future needs.”

So evolution seems to have some very powerful curves which you (the World Resources Inventory staff) are trying to find - not trying to invent”

  —R. Buckminster Fuller, World Game, Doc 1, 1971
