4.0 out of 5 stars
Short and well illustrated review of Fuller's design work,
By
This review is from: Buckminster Fuller (Design Heroes Series) (Hardcover)
This book is an early assessment and overview of Fuller's design work taken as a whole. The author, Martin Pawley, knew Fuller but was not an acolyte; his treatment of Fuller is fair but critical. At the beginning of the book Pawley relates a not so friendly encounter which shows Fuller's known genius for technological prognostication and extrapolation and is a great story. Pawley was one of the first people to point out that Fuller's narrative of his early career did not match up with Fuller's own Chronofile-a compendious record of his life and achievements. After reading this book I recommend reading _Becoming Bucky Fuller_. Several academic careers will be made assessing Fuller's place in his own time and several more assessing the applications of his ideas in the present and future.
