This primer by Brown, Cook and Gabel introduces 'comprehensive anticipatory design science', Buckminster Fuller's approach of applying scientific method systematically to the design of the whole human environment. It is a practical guide meant to help readers become active participants in solving environmental and social problems through whole-systems design.
The Environmental Design Science Primer, written by Howard Brown, Robert Cook and Medard Gabel, sets out 'comprehensive anticipatory design science', a term coined by Buckminster Fuller: the systematic application of scientific principles to the design of the total human environment, aimed at meeting the needs of all people without disrupting the planet's ecological processes. The primer is written as a practical, skills-building guide meant to help readers become planners and active participants in solving environmental and social problems through whole-systems design, rather than as a narrow technical text. It is hosted today by the Buckminster Fuller Institute as a foundational document in the design science tradition.
