Design For Mobility -- now available !

Buckminster Fuller: Designing for Mobility

In keeping with the global perspective on human affairs, Fuller approached design problems comprehensively.

Boston Globe
By Drake Bennett | October 23, 2005

TODAY, WHEN PEOPLE hear the name R. Buckminster Fuller, most probably think of geodesic domes: leaky hippie houses, Cold War radar installations, Epcot Center, jungle gyms.

But as Michael John Gorman, a historian of science and a former associate curator of Stanford University's Buckminster Fuller Collection, writes in his illuminating new book, "Buckminster Fuller: Designing for Mobility" (Skira), those few associations hardly do justice to Fuller, who was born in Milton and died in 1983 at the age of 87.
