Education Automation on Spaceship Earth: Buckminster Fuller’s Vision— More Relevant than Ever

R. Buckminster Fuller is perhaps best known for his inventions of the geodesic dome and the Dymaxion car; his inventive ideas and approach to education have mostly been ignored. He was passionate about teaching and lectured widely. This aspect of Buckminster Fuller is discussed by someone intimately familiar with the multifaceted man—his daughter, Allegra Fuller Snyder—in an interview with artist/educator Victoria Vesna. Currently, Fuller Snyder is chairperson of the Buckminster Fuller Institute, an organization that acts as a central repository for an enormous collection of artifacts, manuscripts and media documenting the life and work of Buckminster Fuller.
