Lyrical meditations on life, work and hopes for the future from the beloved architect and polymath Buckminster Fuller
First published in 1976, issued in a new edition in 2008, and now back in print, And It Came to Pass--Not to Stay brings together a selection of Buckminster Fuller's (1895-1983) lyrical and philosophical best, including seven "essays" that address global crises and his predictions for the future--"to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offence or the disadvantage of anyone." These essays, comprising "How Little I Know," "Complexion 1976," "What I Am Trying to Do," "A Definition of Evolution," "'And It Came to Pass' (Not to Stay)," "Soft Revolution" and "Ethics," pursue the task of ushering in a new era for humanity by "always starting with the universe." Each of the texts is written in Fuller's "ventilated prose," an essayistic poem form that breaks up his thinking into lines and stanzas.Though best known as a designer and design theorist, Fuller investigated and challenged assumptions about structure, function, materials, technology, aesthetics, services, distribution, mobility, communication, collaboration, information, recycling, politics, property and social norms. These essays present the great range and depth of Fuller's thought while elegantly weaving the personal, the playful, the simple and the profound.

For Fuller, nature is the most exquisite technology we know; and what underlies all of his work is the quest to uncover nature's fundamental principles--in order to foster their manifestation as a pattern integrity 'for successfully regenerating all life aboard our planetary spaceship.' -Jaime Lawrence Snyder, Lars Mьller Fuller Series Editor

The work of R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) is among the most extraordinary and inventive in 20th-century design and architecture, not least for its incorporation of a range of intellectual and technical disciplines. Fuller described himself as an "engineer, inventor, mathematician, architect, cartographer, philosopher, poet, cosmogonist, comprehensive designer and choreographer.'' R. Buckminster Fuller: Pattern-Thinking is a major reassessment of Fuller's legacy in the context of design, examining his singular vision of new conceptual models for design and architecture, alongside his ideas on their potentially world-altering consequences. Drawing extensively on his archive and with over 300 images, the book follows Fuller's explorations of geometry, language and intellectual property in their relation to design principles and pedagogy, organizing its survey of Fuller's work through parallel conceptual threads rather than in a linear chronology of his career. Daniel Lуpez-Pйrez is an associate professor and a founding faculty member of the Architecture Program at the University of San Diego. By way of several publications and curatorial projects, Lуpez-Pйrez has emerged as an authority on Fuller, having edited Fuller in Mexico (2015) and R. Buckminster Fuller: World Man (2013), the latter of which was picked as Design Book of the Year by Architect magazine. He was also the curator of a week of lectures and exhibitions on Fuller at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2014.

Описание: Die Neuauflage von Buckminster Fullers Erstlingswerk, fur dessen Publikation 1938 Albert Einstein sich stark machte. In 43 Kapiteln entfaltet der Konstrukteur, Visionar, Erfinder, Designer, Sprachschopfer und spektakulare Performer die Kunst, auf eigene Faust zu denken. Fuller spannt einen gewaltigen Horizont auf, Nine Chains to the Moon kommt einer Navigation quer durch unsere Lebenswelt gleich: „What Is a House?", „Death and Life", „Longing Crosses the Sea", „Dollarability", „We Call it Earth", „Stomach Rhythms", „Ephemeralization" – vom Mikroskopischen zum Automobil, zum Haus, zur Urbanitat, zum Bild des Kosmos in standiger Bewegung. Der Titel, sagt Fuller, stimuliere aufgeschlossenes Denken: Die Weltbevolkerung, einer auf den Schultern des anderen stehend, reicht 1938 neunmal von der Erde zum Mond!
