Richard Buckminster Fuller was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, and futurist. He styled his name as R. Buckminster Fuller in his writings, publishing more than 30 books and coining or popularizing such terms as "Spaceship Earth", "", "", "", and "". The was developed by inventor and architect Buckminster Fuller to address several perceived shortcomings with existing homebuilding techniques. Fuller designed several versions of the house at different times — all of them factory manufactured kits, assembled on site, intended to be suitable for any site or environment and to use resources efficiently. A key design consideration of the design was ease of shipment and assembly. The or Fuller map is a projection of a world map onto the surface of an icosahedron, which can be unfolded and flattened to two dimensions. The flat map is heavily interrupted in order to preserve shapes and sizes. The was designed by American inventor Buckminster Fuller during the Great Depression and featured prominently at Chicago's 1933/1934 World's Fair. Fuller built three experimental prototypes with naval architect Starling Burgess – using donated money as well as a family inheritance – to explore not an automobile per se, but the 'ground-taxiing phase' of a vehicle that might one day be designed to fly, land and drive – an "Omni-Medium Transport". Fuller associated the word Dymaxion with much of his work, a portmanteau of the words dy namic , max imum , and tens ion , to summarize his goal to do more with less. Archigram was an avant-garde architectural group formed in the 1960s ⁠that was neofuturistic, anti-heroic and pro-consumerist, drawing inspiration from technology in order to create a new reality that was solely expressed through hypothetical projects. A concept of was introduced in 1957 by R. Buckminster Fuller who defined it as a systematic form of designing. He expanded on this concept in his World Design Science Decade proposal to the International Union of Architects in 1961. The term was later used by S. A. Gregory in the 1965 'The Design Method' Conference where he drew the distinction between scientific method and design method. Gregory was clear in his view that design was not a science and that design science referred to the scientific study of design. Herbert Simon in his 1968 Karl Taylor Compton lectures used and popularized these terms in his argument for the scientific study of the artificial. Over the intervening period the two uses of the term have co-mingled to the point where design science may have both meanings: a science of design and design as a science. Neo-futurism is a late-20th to early-21st-century movement in the arts, design, poetry and architecture. It has been seen as a departure from the attitude of post-modernism and represents an idealistic belief in a better future. Sam Green is an American documentary filmmaker. His most recent projects are “live documentaries” in which he narrates a film in-person while musicians perform a live soundtrack.

The Buckminster Fuller Challenge is an annual international design competition that awards $100,000 to the most comprehensive solution to a pressing global problem. The Challenge was launched in 2007 and is a program of The Buckminster Fuller Institute . The competition, open to designers, artists, architects, students, environmentalists, and organizations world-wide, has been dubbed "Socially-Responsible Design's Highest Award" by Metropolis Magazine. The Living Building Challenge is an international sustainable building certification program created in 2006 by the non-profit International Living Future Institute. It is described by the Institute as a philosophy, advocacy tool and certification program that promotes the most advanced measurement of sustainability in the built environment. It can be applied to development at all scales, from buildings—both in new constructions and renovations—to infrastructure, landscapes, neighborhoods and communities, and differs from other green certification schemes such as LEED or BREEAM. Open Source Ecology ( OSE ) is a network of farmers, engineers, architects and supporters, whose main goal is the eventual manufacturing of the Global Village Construction Set ( GVCS ). As described by Open Source Ecology "the GVCS is an open technological platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 types of industrial machines that it takes to build a small civilization with modern comforts". Groups in Oberlin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and California are developing blueprints, and building prototypes in order to pass them on to Missouri. The devices are built and tested on the Factor e Farm in rural Missouri. Recently, 3D-Print reports OSE has been experimenting with RepRap 3-D printers as suggested by academics for sustainable development.

Zaha Hadid died just over a year ago. I was so shocked and disappointed. I truly love her buildings. They are all unique, generally futurisitic, sometimes biomorphic, definitely inspirational. She was inspirational herself as the first woman to earn the Pritzker Prize, even having been born in Iraq. I teach Contemporary Design History and when I get to her work I become almost speechless trying to describe it. Honestly, if I become an architect, this is the response I want to evoke in others. However, I actually want to do more. I have presented at the International Living Future (Un)Conference and in teaching my classes I have researched the social and environmental justice issues involved in architecture and design. As a person of conscience I cannot ethically continue in this field without attempting to be part of correcting egregious injustice birthed by my own industry. To give her credit, Hadid participated in social unification by creating radical transparency in the BMW Central Plant in Leipzig, which opened in 2005 (Gannon, 7). However, there’s no mention in the descriptions of the building, that water was conserved or collected, daylighting was utilized, or interior materials were selected for their lack of toxicity. While workers at the plant are probably happy to be employed in a space that encourages communication, their productivity could possibly be increased further with the inclusion of biophilia, individual controls over lighting and temperature, and use of materials that didn’t off-gas toxins into their spaces. What I would dream would be that someone as visionary as Hadid would be just as radical with her energy plans as her traffic patterns. I just purchased a book entitled Zugunruhe by Jason F. McLennan. In it he speaks at length about raising awareness of our current environmental plight, especially with those currently in denial of it. I admit I haven’t finished reading it yet but one of his quotes is, “True growth comes from learning how to change. When something does not go as originally planned, embrace the change rather than doing anything possible not to be wrong or to keep things the same. Only the fool views success as never having been wrong” (150). The methods of construction that we have employed have been “wrong”. They have caused substantial problems for the natural environment on which we depend. Even our efforts at efficiency have caused problems. I currently teach in a LEED Silver building that has the air conditioning on when it’s 60 degrees outside. There are few windows and they don’t open. We’re sealed into a room full of particleboard tables and plastic chairs that off-gas formaldehyde into the room where we are supposed to be learning how to be responsible with (in this case) textile use. It is senseless. We need to work with nature’s systems to create structures that empower the human body and mind while contributing to ecosystems by filtering water, utilizing the sun, and turning waste into profit. But before we can do that the public has to know that it’s important, real, and necessary. I grew up in Oklahoma. There has probably never been a state in which more people (proportional to the size of the state) deny human involvement in climate change. Those are the people I wish to reach. I believe I have a voice, something to say, in a way that at least some of them can hear. Part of reaching them will involve creative architecture that captures imagination along with function. Open conversations must be had with people who disagree. Passion must be harnessed by respect; knowledge must be thorough. Communities require architecture. Architecture needs to last, to edify, to function, and to breathe as though it were a living being. This is what architecture can be. It can go farther than looking organic. It can function as an organic structure supporting human life. Gannon, Todd. Zaha Hadid: BMW Central Building, Leipzig, Germany . New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2008. Print.
