Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe

Philosopher. Forecaster. Designer. Poet. Inventor. Advocate of alternative energy.R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the greatest American thinkers of the 20th century -- and a visionary for the 21st. Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe is the first major US exhibition of Fuller's work in 35 years and a testament to his fascinating mix of utopian vision and organic pragmatism. A combination of models, sketches, and other artifacts -- many on view for the first time -- represent six decades of the artist's integrated approach to housing, transportation, communication, and cartography
