Visionary Buckminster Fuller's lasting impact on the Bay Area
We're not working in geodesic domes, driving three-wheeled aerodynamic cars or living in round aluminum "Dymaxion" houses. But that doesn't mean Buckminster Fuller -- who, in the 20th century, devised these futuristic projects and thousands more -- has faded from view.
Northern California was one place where his visionary influence took root during his lifetime (1895-1983) and where it continues to thrive, as "The Utopian Impulse: Buckminster Fuller and the Bay Area," at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art through July 29, makes clear.
The show brings together artifacts ranging from the Whole Earth Catalog, North Face tents and the "Plastiki" boat made of discarded water bottles to the Dymaxion-car blueprint (Dymaxion was a brand name Fuller used for several of his designs), It's a fascinating collage of plans, photographs, film and building models.
Smart design
Fuller's most popular design, the geodesic dome, is everywhere -- from colorful versions on playgrounds to Montreal's Expo 1967 to Florida's Epcot Center. But the mechanics of his projects are less important to museum exhibit curator Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher than his broad vision and passionate belief that smarter design could help change the world.
