Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Lyrical meditations on life, work and hopes for the future from the beloved architect and polymath Buckminster Fuller. First published in 1976, issued in a new edition in 2008, and now back in print, And It Came to Pass - Not to Stay brings together a selection of Buckminster Fuller's (18951983) lyrical and philosophical best, including seven "essays" that address global crises and his predictions for the future - "to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offence or the disadvantage of anyone." These essays, comprising "How Little I Know," "Complexion 1976," "What I Am Trying to Do," "A Definition of Evolution," "'And It Came to Pass' (Not to Stay)," "Soft Revolution" and "Ethics," pursue the task of ushering in a new era for humanity by "always starting with the universe." Each of the texts is written in Fuller's "ventilated prose," an essayistic poem form that breaks up his thinking into lines and stanzas. Though best known as a designer and design theorist, Fuller investigated and challenged assumptions about structure, function, materials, technology, aesthetics, services, distribution, mobility, communication, collaboration, information, recycling, politics, property and social norms. These essays present the great range and depth of Fuller's thought while elegantly weaving the personal, the playful, the simple and the profound. AUTHOR: Fuller was born in Milton MA, taught at Harvard and MIT, and in the late 1950s was named World Fellow in Residence to a consortium of universities. SELLING POINTS: . R Buckminster Fuller (1895 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", "Dymaxion" house/car, ephemeralisation, synergetic, and "tensegrity". He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. . Consisting of some of his most influential essays. Originally published in 1976, this is a reprint of Lars Muller's long sold-out and in-demand 2008 edition. Fuller's theories and writings are still core course-adopted texts in engineering, architecture, and sustainable design.
