buckminster fuller has come to be known as one of america’s great visionaries of the twentieth century. with an environmentally conscious mind, he aimed to find design solutions that would help humanity face the challenges that were coming before them before they became uncontrollable. working in projects that deal with the areas of architecture, visual arts, literature, mathematics, engineering and sustainability, buckminster fuller’s goal was to view these areas collaboratively, rather than addressing them as separate entities.

on view is a collection of over five decades of fuller’s approach toward design and technology that surrounds housing, transportation, cartography and communication.
