a
reference to a
philosophy of construction and
design developed by
American engineer and inventor Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983). Fuller devised a system of architecture, based on specific geometrical
units, resulting in the invention of large domes which had no supporting members except a
frame made of these
units. Fuller's
dome encloses a greater volume with less material than any alternative
form.
a mathematical system devised by Buckminster Fuller. Dymaxion means "yielding maximum
performance from available
technology." The system is based on forces balanced against each other and on the way that certain figures
fit together to make forms. It is used in architecture and
philosophy. See also Fuller, Buckminster in this glossary.
