Hyundai Card First Look: R. Buckminster Fuller

A self-trained architect, engineer, and systems thinker, R. Buckminster Fuller saw invention as a way to rethink the relationship between humans, technology, and the environment. Over five decades, he produced countless design prototypes; however, because he lacked academic credentials, he felt he could not publish his ideas in scientific journals. Patents became Fuller’s substitute, and he called them “an equally valid scientific record of my discoveries and inventions.”
