Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller (/ˈfʊlər/; July 12, 1895– July 1, 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer and inventor.
Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", ephemeralization, and synergetic. He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres.
Fuller was the second World President of Mensa from 1974 to 1983.
Guinea Pig B:
I AM NOW CLOSE TO 88 and I am confident that the only thing important about me is that I am an average healthy human. I am also a living case history of a thoroughly documented, half-century, search-and-research project designed to discover what, if anything, an unknown, moneyless individual, with a dependent wife and newborn child, might be able to do effectively on behalf of all humanity that could not be accomplished by great nations, great religions or private enterprise, no matter how rich or powerfully armed.
—Bucky Fuller, 1983
Buckminster Fuller is an EP by Jersey-born singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot, released on 13 February 2009 as an exclusive CD for her fans that were attending the "flurry of gigs" in February 2009. Nerina played in Holmfirth, Buxton, London and Exeter.
Add N to (X) were an English electronic music band formed in London in 1994. The original members were Andrew Aveling, Barry Smith (aka Barry 7) and Ann Shenton.Steven Claydon replaced Aveling in 1997.
After several releases on small labels, they turned down offers from major labels and signed to the independent label Mute Records in 1998, and achieved a modest commercial success before splitting in 2003.
Several of their songs and music videos were adult/sex-related; the video for "Metal Fingers in My Body" is an animated short featuring a woman having sex with a robot, and their video for "Plug Me In" features porn actresses playing with sex toys.
Biography
In 1994 Andrew Aveling met Justin Anderson from Freaky Realistic and together they started a band named Radix Couplment. Andrew was dating Ann Shenton at this time and got her involved on the project. Andrew then asked his friend Barry (Former Radio Prague DJ Smith) if he too would be interested in joining. They then spent some time gigging under this name before a fall out which led to Justin's departure from the band. There being only three remaining Andrew then renamed the group Add N to X. They released Vero Electronics (1996) on the Blow Up label, and after did many other recordings for the next album.
The parish is located in the north-east of the county, on the border with Lincolnshire, and also includes the hamlet of Sewstern. Nearby places are Coston, Wymondham and Sproxton in Leicestershire, and Stainby over the border in Lincolnshire. Quite close by is the Viking Way, which follows the boundary with Lincolnshire.
The parish church of St John the Baptist was built during the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries and was restored and improved in 1883. It is a Grade I listed building.

Buckminster Fuller on an Economic System Based on Abundance not Scarcity
Buckminster Fuller knew it was possible to feed clothe house and educate every man woman and child on Earth... and that our current economic system is based on the belief that we can NOT do that.

Buckminster Fuller was kicked out of college, and booted by Harvard not once, but twice. As a young man trying out jobs, he best liked working with his hands, and was more at home with mill workers, meat-packers and sailors, than professors.
Fuller’s most famous for his Geodesic Dome - think Disney’s Epcot Center. You could call him an inventor-philospher-engineer-architect-artist - but he was outside category, really - and he wanted to ‘do a lot with a little.' All to make the world a better place. The tape we found told us he also had his own deeper, more personal reasons for what he did.
Fuller spoke with Studs Terkel for Studs’ Chicago radio show twice. Once in studio in 1970, and the other five years earlier. That’s when he and Studs rode around in a station wagon through the rapidly gentrifiying neighborhood Lincoln Park - see if you can hear the hum of the moving car.
A conversation with Fuller was like running through a hedge maze - he spoke in fragments, these big ideas endlessly around the corner from others, warm and charismatic the whole way. Studs is firmly there, both holding the reigns and along for the ride - addressing him with all due respect. But as you’ll hear, Buckminster Fuller wasn’t too big on formalities.

Buckminster Fuller wasn't the massive success that he wanted to be, but he became a defining influence on the engineering, architecture, and design that shapes our world today.

Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion house was designed to be a machine that works around you.
It featured some of the same design elements that made his famous geodesic domes so sturdy, plus it featured smart home features long before smart homes were a thing.

Reflections: R. Buckminster Fuller (1977)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFhCp0BIhUw&t=2148s
Some brief clips from the "Lost Interviews" tapes with Buckminster Fuller, where Dr. Fuller discusses the nature of Tensegrity (or "Tensional Integrity") in structures.
Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller (/ˈfʊlər/; July 12, 1895– July 1, 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer and inventor.
Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", ephemeralization, and synergetic. He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres.
Fuller was the second World President of Mensa from 1974 to 1983.
Guinea Pig B:
I AM NOW CLOSE TO 88 and I am confident that the only thing important about me is that I am an average healthy human. I am also a living case history of a thoroughly documented, half-century, search-and-research project designed to discover what, if anything, an unknown, moneyless individual, with a dependent wife and newborn child, might be able to do effectively on behalf of all humanity that could not be accomplished by great nations, great religions or private enterprise, no matter how rich or powerfully armed.
—Bucky Fuller, 1983
