Description
R. Buckminster Fuller: Pattern-Thinking is a major reassessment of the legacy of R. Buckminster Fuller in design and architecture. Drawing extensively from his archive, this book explores Fuller's singular vision of new conceptual models for design and architecture, alongside his ideas on their potentially world-altering consequences. López-Pérez examines Fuller's explorations of geometry, language and intellectual property in relation to design principles and pedagogy, organizing the survey through parallel conceptual threads rather than a linear chronology of his career. With over 300 images, this book provides a comprehensive insight into Fuller's work. By an authority on Fuller, López-Pérez offers a fresh perspective on the life and ideas of one of the most extraordinary designers and architects of the 20th century.
