Your private sky: r. buckminster fuller: the art of design science, hardcover/joachim krausse

Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the most revolutionary technological visionaries of the 20th century.

As an architect, engineer, entrepreneur, and poet, he was a quintessentially American self-made man.

But he was also an outsider: a technologist with a poets imagination who already developed theories of environmental control in the thirties (``more with less``) and who anticipated the globalization of our planet (``think global--act local``).

In light of the reawakening interest in his works and thoughts, and of their growing importance for our technological world, it is time for a re-edition of this comprehensive and legendary publication from 1999.

The visual reader Your Private Sky examines and documents Fullers theories, ideas, and projects, and critically deals with his ideology of ``rescue through technology.
