'Pattern-Thinking' reassesses the work of Buckminster Fuller -
unique hybrid between theoretician, architect, designer, educator,
inventor, and author - as advancing contemporary models of
design-research, practice, and pedagogy. Drawing extensively on
Fuller's archive, the book follows his unique process of
translation between the physical and conceptual dimensions of
design, to redefine our understanding of the relationships between
geometry, structure, language, and intellectual property. Rather
than being organised around a chronology of distinct narratives,
'Pattern-Thinking' follows these parallel explorations as the basis
for Fuller's artifacts and inventions. In the space between lines,
models, words, and patents, it traces his ambition to measure
physical experience in an ever-expanding pattern of relationships,
while coordinating these into a conceptual network of words and
concepts that shape the basis for his thinking. Advocating a
multidisciplinary and political perspective, Fuller's transversal
logic expands the knowledge base of contemporary models of design,
which seek to find broader participation and to address new
publics.

A concise catalogue of this prophets work. Needs to be widely deseminated. More than ever the world needs the comprehensive vision of 'Guinea pig B'. let us make more with less!
