Buckminster Fuller

The “Speculative Prehistory of Humanity” Buckminster Fuller piece was one which discussed the connections between design and money, math, and science. The connections between design and science and math weren’t completely clear to me prior to “Speculative Prehistory of Humanity”, but have now become clearer. Buckminster fuller feels that nature is important to design, so this piece certainly ties in with the later reading, “The Sincerest Form Of Flattery.” I personally am not a design major, but many of the articles we read on design really interest me and seem to apply to other aspects of visual arts as well. This piece wasn’t quite as interesting to me because I’m not a huge fan of neither math nor science, and it’s hard for me to enjoy their contributions to design being that I really don’t enjoy either topic.
