Buckminster Fuller, 1895 - 1983. American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, and futurist

To me no experience of childhood so reinforced self- confidence in one's own exploratory faculties as did geometry. Its inspiring effectiveness in winnowing out and evaluating a plurality of previously unknowns from a few given knowns, and its elegance of proof lead to the further discovery and comprehension of a grand strategy for all problem solving. SYNERGETICS Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking by R. Buckminster Fuller in collaboration with E. J. Applewhite, 1979.


"Geometry expresses the knowledge of the relationship of things and provides the means by which we can extend human intellectual and physical capabilities."


"If you look at the Earth without architecture, it's a little bit like the body without clothing. There's geometry to the architecture of the human body. There's proportion."
