R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER, 1895 - 1983

This biography page from the Buckminster Fuller Institute covers the life of Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983), born in Milton, Massachusetts, into a family with a strong tradition of activism and public service. It describes Fuller as one of the most influential comprehensive thinkers of the twentieth century, working as a self-described 'comprehensive anticipatory design scientist' who applied systemic design thinking to global problems including housing, transportation, education, energy and ecological destruction, aiming to do 'more with less'. Over his career Fuller held 28 patents, authored 28 books and received 47 honorary degrees. He died on 1 July 1983, and the Buckminster Fuller Institute has since maintained an information clearinghouse on his life and work for the network of practitioners he inspired.
