Dymaxion Artifacts listing of productshttp://bfi.easystorecreator.com/Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:20:26 PSTen It was 1976, twenty-five years after R. Buckminster Fuller introduced geodesic domes when literary critic Hugh Kenner published this fully-illustrated practical manual for their construction. Now, some twenty-five years later, Geodesic Math and How to Use It again presents a systematic method of design and provides a step-by-step method for producing mathematical specifications for orthodox geodesic domes, as well as for a variety of elliptical, super-elliptical, and other nonspherical contours.http://bfi.easystorecreator.com/items/books/geodesic-map-and-how-to-use-it-by-hugh-kenner-132-detail.htmhttp://bfi.easystorecreator.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/348729/categ_id/3733VideoThu, 3 Apr 2008 09:54:00 PST 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. Pearces work follows in the tradition established by DArcy Wentworth Thompson and Konrad Wachsmann, and reflects his earlier close association with Charles Eames and Buckminster Fuller. The concepts encompassed in the book should appeal to any lover of geometry, but particularly to those interested in design.- Walter Sullivan, The New York Times. ---well produced and well illustrated book on structural design...His buildings bristle with angles and slopes in all directions. They look fascinating and some (though certainly not all) are rather beautiful. Most appear bizarre to the conventional eye...To many of us, Pearces ideas are unfamiliar, exciting, and original. They surely deserve further exploration at a practical level. -Nature The book is easy to read and offers many plausible and original geometric ideas. It is lavishly illustrated and contains many useful tables listing the structures and their geometric parameters. -Paul J.

Beginning with the work of Buckminster Fuller from the 1920s through the 1960s, continuing through the counter-culture and ending on the doorstep of the 21st century, this video follows the evolution of ecological design from the early visions of a few independent thinkers to the powerful movement it has become today. Winner of several awards, the film includes the interdisciplinary perspectives of many noted designers and thinkers such as Jay Baldwin, Mary Catherine Bateson, John Todd, Stewart Brand, Amory Lovins, Paolo Soleri, and many others. A powerful educational tool, Ecological Design provides a practical basis for learning about the environment and about our capability to design a desirable and sustainable future.
