So many beautiful Bucky ideas…so little time.

Bucky's biggest idea was that humanity's biggest test was whether or not we could realign ourselves with nature. Weaning ourselves off fossil fuels is an essential part of this test.

There are so many amazing innovations happening in the world that were inspired, at least in part, by the great thinking of the late Buckminster Fuller. So many that I am not even going to try to write about them, but just link them for you.

FIrst, a shifting city, designed to ebb and flow with nature: 

Then, a new actualized version of Bucky’s World Game, or at least it is getting close. 

Happening all over the world, simultaneously, right now, the field of biomimicry is blossoming like a big fat lotus flower. This whole new field of study (and industry) is based on the nature-based ideas of Bucky’s and others.

The Biometrics of Building.

And then, some ideas for how to actually apply the wisdom of nature in our designs. Happy reading. More great Bucky ideas to come.

Please share Buckyideas.

I love speaking about ideas for achieving humanity’s success, which were passed on to me in 1982 by American genius Buckminster Fuller. Bucky’s ideas and integrities reflect subtle shifts in thinking necessary to help humanity find a more sustainable path to the future. Or at least to know we were leaning in the right direction.

Thank you for your comments.
