Buckminster Fuller : pattern-thinking  aSwitzerland bLars Müller Publishersc2020  a367p.  a7456b2025-01-30  a"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 organized 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"--Publisher's description.  cBK  c10744d10744  00104070aKRVIAbKRVIAcOSd2025-02-12eBurhani Book Centreg2590.00l1o724.6/PERp8660r2025-04-05s2025-03-22xBARCHyBKzBARCHxBARCHxBARCH
