Abstract

As a surprise gift for his eighty-sixth birthday, Fuller received 'Synergetic Stew': a compilation of cooking recipes contributed by his friends and colleagues, sharing personal anecdotes and humorous recollections of his life, such as a reminiscence about Bucky's somewhat peculiar but enthusiastic love for tea. Scattered throughout the book are enticing texts and poems from Fuller himself. The book is a glimpse into Fuller's life, told by his peers and embedded in nearly a hundred achievable recipes. A few of them are joyful odes towards Fuller's oeuvre, such as Shirley Sharkey's Geodesicandy, the Microbiotic Diet by John Cage, or Amy Edmondson's Allspace-Filling Whole Wheat Bread. In addition to the facsimile, Fuller's grandson Jaime Snyder reflects upon often overlooked facets of Bucky's character, revealed through anecdotes of his relationship with food. Short profiles of all contributors complete the reprint.

Abstract

La Dymaxion House (1929-1946) de R. Buckminster Fuller a ouvert un territoire de recherche nouveau, défiant les normes de conception du logement jusqu'à mettre en crise la propre nature de l'espace domestique. A travers une série d'histoires entrecroisées, Federico Neder explore la spatialité conflictuelle du prototype de Fuller et traque ses transformations successives qui font émerger un univers déroutant où se croisent des véhicules, du mobilier, des vêtements, des appareils ménagers. D'autres exemples de maisons "plus célèbres" sont invitées à participer à un dialogue imaginaire au cours duquel l'auteur montre comment les visions de Fuller ont dépassé les frontières de la carapace scintillante de ses prototypes, anticipant des changements d'ordre technologique, social et même culturel de l'art d'habiter des XXe et XXIe siècles.

Abstract

Pattern-Thinking reassesses the work of Buckminster Fuller-unique hybrid between theoretician, architect, designer, educator, inventor, and author-as advancing contemporary models of design research, practice, and pedagogy. Drawing extensively on Fuller's archive, the book follows his unique process of translation between the physical and conceptual dimensions of design, to redefine our understanding of the relationships between geometry, structure, language, and intellectual property. ather than being organized around a chronology of distinct narratives, Pattern-Thinking follows these parallel explorations as the basis for Fuller's artifacts and inventions. In the space between lines, models, words, and patents, it traces his ambition to measure physical experience in an ever-expanding pattern of relationships, while coordinating these into a conceptual network of words and concepts that shape the basis for his thinking. Advocating a multidisciplinary and political perspective, Fuller's transversal logic expands the knowledge base of contemporary models of design, which seek to find broader participation and to address new publics.
