Short and well illustrated review of Fuller's design work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
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.
