{"product_id":"9781616890940","title":"R. Buckminster Fuller: World Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the most innovative and influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Best known as the inventor of the geodesic dome, Fuller sought out long-term, technology-led solutions to the world's most pressing social and environmental problems. His prodigious creative output-from visionary architectural works and experimental structures to expressive drawings and poetic musings-foreshadowed today's green design and prefab housing movements. \u003ci\u003eR.Buckminster Fuller: World Man\u003c\/i\u003e documents his never-before-published 1966 Kassler lecture at Princeton University School of Architecture. Delivered at the height of his career (Fuller had appeared on the cover of \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e magazine in 1964), he used the lecture to reflect on and synthesize his most significant concepts. In addition to a faithful facsimile of the lecture's typewritten transcript, the book includes an introductory essay on Fuller's work, a glossary of key terms and phrases, and an interview with Robert Geddes, the dean responsible for bringing Fuller to teach and lecture at the school.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018549182704,"sku":"9781616890940","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616890940_p0.jpg?v=1763853213","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616890940","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
