Buckminster Fuller : Everything I Know

Everything I Know : Buckminster Fuller


Dymaxion House(DH),Dymaxion Car(DC) or Geodesic Dome(GD) are the artifacts that represents Buckminster Fuller. But these are just a small fragment of his life.He elaborated humanitarian framework involving resource conservation, applied geometry, and neologisms like "tensegrity","ephemeralization" and "omni-interaccodomodative". Fuller wrote over 30 books, registered 28 United States patents and kept a diary in which he documented his every 15 minutes.
Now you can hear all about his thoughts,experiences, acts and times straight from the source of his 42 hours lectures archive "Everything I Know". It is actually his real Talk.
In 1975, Fuller delivered 12 lectures and recorded video using (Blue-screen technology) that make up Everything I Know.
Props and background graphics illustrate the many concepts he visits and revisits, which include, according to the Buckminster Fuller Institute, “all of Fuller’s major inventions and discoveries,” “his own personal history in the context of the history of science and industrialization,” and no narrower a range of subjects than “architecture, design, philosophy, education, mathematics, geometry, cartography, economics, history, structure, industry, housing and engineering.” In his time as a passenger on what he called Spaceship Earth, Fuller realized that human progress need not separate the “natural” from the “unnatural”: “When people say something is natural,” he explains in the first lecture (embedded above as a YouTube video above), ”‘natural’ is the way they found it when they checked into the picture.” In these 42 hours, you’ll learn all about how he arrived at this observation — and all the interesting work that resulted from it.
