Born in '71. Went back to my old Kindergarten playground where one of the original Fuller-sanctioned geodesic half-dome jungle gyms we played incessantly on in '76-'77, was present. By 2008, it was gone and the facility had been converted to a Montessori school. The janitor there told me although many people on the staff plaintively offered to take the dome away at their own expense and have it put in their yards, state school regulations about transporting school property and particularly haz-mat metallic structures off state property(apparently many of these Fuller jungle gyms were alloyed with a bit of lead and pewter to make them sturdier and more weather resistant), it was against the law to do so and the school/local school board/city council, would assume heavy fines/environmental group's wrath if they allowed the dome's civilian removal and relocation.
Despite all protestations including some local residents/teachers/staff(with more than a few who played on that same gym in Kindergarten during their time at the school), it was ultimately Sawzall cut on-site, placed in "state-approved" containers, then shuttled away in a scrap truck(driven by undocumented individuals), headed for Long Beach where its fate was just as much unknown as it was politically-guarded.
Although Fuller was powerhouse-mindful and weary of macro environmental concerns in his active intellectual stockpile and aims, perhaps the lesson here is that when an overarching and unaccountable state operating in pro-forma fashion, can and does create small and large collateral damage, just as much as it protects and serves the interests of its citizens and the surrounding environs itt virtue-signal boasts to protect.
Destroying a genuine Buckminster Fuller-certified(and presumably high-attritioning if other schools/govt agencies domestically/globally are doing the same) artifact honoring his memory and the memories of so many whose minds were expanded just being in such close daily proximity to such objects, may not be a world-ending offense. But it's certainly short-sided and non-circumspect, towards the apparently now subsumed goal of preserving Fuller's legacy which in a properly working world would be constantly evolving to foster each successive generation, to ask the right questions and pursue the best thought-out answers with integrity and reverence to the past-imbued vision.
We are currently restoring his dome home in Carbondale Illinois. I'm uploading a video of the project every day.
Is it going to be a show home or an actual living space? How is this going?
This sounds awesome.
If the building materials are not made of natural materials its not good for the environment. They may become tornadoes new favroit man made structures to destroy besides trailer parks. By the way a tornados will never destroy sacred land in less you build a trailer park on it or a cell tower.
You done?
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍
Definitely a man ahead of his time!
Only ahead mate ? WAAAAAAAAY ahead ! ! ! 🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍
I was just here because I read about his tragic academic life at Harvard in archdaily. I felt so bad for him and also because of it I felt hopeful. He is an epitome of strength and resilience that despite failure one could leave a dent to human history.
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 the idiotic standard academics NEVER like a real genius -> ENVY !
Terrific man, its rare to have such people
Very well summarized. Buckminster Fuller would approve.
Just ordered one of his books, "Critical Path". Can't wait to read it!
I'm from Honolulu and there was an original Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome on the property of the Hilton Hawaiian Village complex in Waikiki. It was in fact the venue that was home for the shows performed by musician Don Ho for decades. The Hilton decided after Don Ho that it would be more profitable to tear it down and put another hotel on the site. So now there's an ugly rectangular box eye sore of a hotel there now. If you look at old photos of Waikiki you can see it. That's the priority of the venal and greedy people that control our world 🌎 😑
So sad 2 hear that . . . the world is really full of stupid greedy idiots . . .
Sad that his domes got used in the war which he was against
Great video he was an amazing man. I just finished reading Grunch of Giants everyone sure look into what bucky was teaching.
Bucky pointed the Way!
The world's currently largest radio telescope is an upside down geodesic dome.
Awesome, heard him speak at UColorado, Boulder late 1970’s😊
thanks a lot for this video.
I'm thinking about creating a homepage you guys motivate me to do so.
Even do I read a lot about Bucky, this video shows me the usefulness of recreating things.
thanks!
Omg the world I dream of ! Everything in tune w mother earth
who else is watching this for a class
Such a wise man
i'm currently reading his book "utopia or oblivion?" which is a collection of lectures he gave in the 1960's. a lot of it is a little too technical for my sensibilities but interesting nonetheless. in answer to the title question of the book - it looks as though humanity is going to allow the greedy and corrupt global elite lead it to oblivion. oh well. people are idiots. but i'm doing what I can to wake up people but I can't do it alone! nice little overview. well done.

Check out this film and the Venus Project if you haven't already. Keep doing good work body. Information is our only weapon
He called for collective action, not for collective commenting online.
@@cristiplopeanu ... that's funny. i think you're right. in fact, that's what i've been calling for over the last 30 years. i tell people constantly, writing online complaints ain't gonna change nothin. you want REAL change? you want a better world? you BE THE CHANGE you desire. writing crap online isn't accomplishing anything. you must ACT! you must dedicate your life in the pursuit of justice, human rights and logic!
and yes, i follow my own advice. i've founded, and follow, a new philosophy called "equalism" that puts these objectives into action. wanna join me. watch my channel to learn more about equalism and the ONLY real way to make a better world.
@@cjmacq-vg8um commenting online helps random users learn knew things. Its a worldwide conversation. With possitives and negatives.
Cool, never give up, if you can wake just one person, you've done a lot. I'm surrounded by idiots too, if these idiots would just shut the hell up and stop repeating propaganda media
Only people with ambition in life is watching these videos
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 thanks for that one mate ! And you know what: My ambitions are growing over the years !
Indeed 👑
We have a huge geodesic dome here in Montreal that was built for Expo 67. Montreal Biosphere. Still holding today in 2022! I just learned that it was designed by Fuller himself!
Someone needs to remove fear mongering News and stupid sitcoms from Tv and broadcast Buckminster Fuller presentations across the globe and let people do the rest.
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 GREAT idea mate ! I would fully support it !
People like him and Tesla, the way things turned out for them, makes me HATE those afflicted by greed amongst my fellow Humans. smh
Yeah cause it's SUPER greed. Not just wanting more than needed but wanting it ALL at the expense of others.
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 me too mate . . .
Great video, thank you
I like the idea of conservation over consumption. Although the ideas about scarcity and lack are some what misguided, to invent something which is self sustaining is a novel and useful one. Fuller seemed fascinated by this idea and was driven by a revulsion of over-consumption and scarcity. He seemed to want to remove waste out of the equation completely. To me the looping sign of infinity seems relevant in his work. The carbon chemical named after him is very interesting as well. Shaped as the geodesic dome of his obsession and neutralizing and removing waste. Its like a tiny garbage truck.
Only one thumb (from me !) after 3 years. You see what a stupid waste-land-society we still are . . .
Thomas Zung; rocks!!
He deserves more time then 3 min.
We're in a bit of a pickle - funds disappeared, but there's hope for recovery.
Is that one of the Boards of Canada webloops as the intro music?
The World Trade Center towers were dymaxion. They had a massive central core with a surrounding outside shell made out of sections hanging from them.
1:49 can I have the link to that video I’ve been searching all day
I love people like this in history. They teach us that those "crazy, out there" ideas of intelligent people should be listened to. Unfortunately, the average politicians intelligence is so far below this, the change is often far too slow. Thankfully, technology is able to overcome most of these boundaries before politicians can even comprehend them. The crypto space and all that is happening in DeFi at the moment is an excellent modern day example.
Where i can buy this dymaxion house? It’s AMAZING, i want it!!!!! Also the van is amazing, with some modernization, it would be great car today.
you're 100 years too late...
they may be stashed somewhere around Wichita KS ~it was sad he didn't give the go ahead with the aircraft co that supported the Dymaxion House project or that they didn't do the little tweeks he wanted for the go ahead. but that's the way it ended. for now.
There's one at the Hendry Ford museum.
There were only two ever made.
But think about trying to heat a thin aluminium skin in any northern climes.
Think about the condensation too!
The 'deployment units' leaked like a sieve, and we're never successful.
Bucky had some great ideas, but he never had the engineering background to make any of it practical.
And the icosahedron dome was developed and built by a Zeiss engineer for a planetarium decades before he learned of it and popularized it.
Bucky was a dreamer, a dreamer of a utopia. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Please look up the _facts_ before you buy into the cult or become a sycophant
Elon Musk's argument for leaving Spaceship Earth seams less appealing now.
what did elon say?
❤
Did he intend to live in these himself?
Hi im puttin your video on my ig story@aa
He was not ahead of the curve. We never had a curve in the first place.
O. K - - - then he was way ahead of the LANE
GENIUS! Sadly no relation, lol! except as in long term evolutionary terms.
say "Fuller" not "Filler"
He is British. His pronunciation is different from those that live in America.
Well, the English language was much better before British people came along and ruined it! pfft.
I'd be more inclined to insist he pronounce 'th' rather than substitute it for f as seems to be increasingly the norm.
@@winterhaydn5640 Good one
A thief. He had nothing to do with the invention of the geodesic dome.
Why do you think that?
