For the past month or so I've been reading through books and anything else I find in relation to Buckminster Fuller. I feel very comforted by hearing his all-inclusive, utopian, well-minded productive outlooks. His writing makes no effort to hide his personality, with ample supplies of commas and hyphenated creations, examples of intelligent speech alterations (no more 'up' and 'down' since we don't live on flat x-y landscapes - 'out' and 'in' are more correct), and his complete lack of trying to make it easily digestible. But when you receive all these pieces together and read the soundness of his arguments through science and facts it is at times, truly inspiring. I was immediately a fan.
Fuller created many things by a philosophy that creating artifacts for future generations was the best method of being productive for the future with the least imposition on another's rights. His creations exposed a better state of living than is currently being employed. He saw buildings and architecture evolved very slowly (50 year increments per advancement) and so he applied his knowledge toward letting you do what you need to do in the least infringing fashion while also being most efficient with Universe-supplied materials. Sustainability is notably influenced by his creations.
His most well known project was his geodesic dome which relied on using nature to their fullest advantage. It was more practical to use gravity and principles of mathematics to create solutions than to preserve and accept obsolete creations.
Under mathematics circles have the greatest ratio of interior volume to surface space therefore they require less materials. How much material would be needed to cover this chair 'like a building'?:
Maybe we can start with the cat having its own dome.
