 | A Fuller Explanation: The Synergetic Geometry of R. Buckminster Fuller by Amy C. Edmondson
| This new edition revives an indispensable classic, originally described
as "the long-awaited and outstanding new book that explains Buckminster
Fuller's Synergetics. The
author, who worked closely with Fuller the last three years of his
life, realized that the 1400 pages of dense prose in Fuller's Synergetics can be explained in clear terms."
"As
Fuller's personal engineer, Edmondson gained an intimate understanding
of synergetics and its potential for making humans a success on Earth.
Her clear narrative translates the Synergetics books
into familiar language. Read alone the book is the clearest available
introduction to energetic-synergetic geometry." - J. Baldwin | | | |

 | Structure in Nature by Peter Pearce
| | The structural designs that occur in nature—in molecules, in crystals,
in living cells—appear in this fully illustrated book as a source of
inspiration and study of the design of man-made structures. In
particular, the book reveals that when the geometrical modular systems
developed by the author are applied to building design, the result is
adaptive, structurally sound, and economical environments. Pearce’s
work follows in the tradition established by D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson
and Konrad Wachsmann, and reflects his earlier close association with
Charles Eames and Buckminster Fuller. | | | |
