R. Buckminster Fuller deliberately worked 50 years ahead of his time in his
designs for living and working. More than 40 tonnes of material lie in the
archives of the institute he founded and J. Baldwin has pulled out the plums for
Bucky Works (Wiley, £22.50/$29.95, ISBN 0 471 12953 4). Baldwin’s
brief accounts of Bucky’s ideas are brought to life by riveting
pictures—Fuller swinging on a rope under a huge geodesic dome, another
dome surviving years of neglect and raccoon attacks. Baldwin suggests a Net
search to find Fuller sites and fans.
