Synopsis
An overview of the works and philosophy of this compelling and controversial figure.

The book features never-before-published material from the Fuller archives which were recently donated to Stanford University. Michael John Gorman's essay offers an in-depth analysis of Fuller's work - focusing more attention on his innovative architectural projects than to other aspects of Fuller's "design science" - as well as an interesting perspective on post-war American society and architectural culture. Chapters include concepts of Fuller's philosophy, his manifesto for mass-produced housing, the role of mobile shelter in transforming behaviour, geodesic domes and Fuller's early experiments.Fuller's achievements, astonishing design and production are fully documented using original and often unknown archival materials.
