Buckminster Fuller
American architect and futurist who explored comprehensive design solutions to global problems. Fuller's geodesic domes, Dymaxion designs, and "Spaceship Earth" concept demonstrated systems thinking. His philosophy of "doing more with less" and ephemeralization influenced sustainable design. Fuller's optimistic techno-utopianism and comprehensive approach to design remain influential.
