Buchminster Fuller: Doing More with Less

This is a story of a man whose ideas, inventions, and foresight has changed the world and also created in our minds  a new way of living. Buchminster Fuller believed in the need for all mankind to live as each others' keeper and believing in nature as the reason for our survival. He allowed himself to be tought by nature. He was curious about his surroundings and found ways and all means possible to make the best out of it.

Buchminster was a visionary who pursued life ahead of his time. In my opinion he understood the planet earth not a thing but rather a form. He believed that we all live in a unified system with limited resources and hence, our behavior and actions would affect our future. In other words our future was tyied to each other. Knowing this ahead of his time contributed to him being all eco-friendly and trying to create a one unique instituetion of living in which we will all learn to share space, energy and other natural resources.

Although Buchminster Fuller objected what  people said about him as being as trying to imitate nature, his ideas in terms of designing an ideal house and transportation was a little in line with the perfect habitation. Nevertheless, he had a sense of creativity in tecnology. The name DYMAXION which breaks down to Dynamic, Maximum and Ion proving this by Inventing a 3-wheel auto-mobil and moveable dome houses. Buchminster Fuller was by all standards to me a humanitarian. He had a vision to save his world. He enjoyed his work and tried to create a safe haven for all.
