Bucky Inc. offers a deep exploration of Richard Buckminster Fuller's
work and thought to shed new light on the questions raised by our
increasingly electronic world. It shows that Fuller's entire career was a
multi-dimensional reflection on the architecture of radio. He always
insisted that the real site of architecture is the electromagnetic
spectrum. His buildings were delicate mobile instruments for accessing
the invisible universe of overlapping signals. Every detail was
understood as a way of tuning into hidden waves. Architecture was built
in, with, for and as radio. Bucky Inc. rethinks the legacy of one of the
key protagonists of the twentieth-century. It draws extensively on
Fuller's archive to follow his radical thinking from toilets to
telepathy, plastic to prosthetics, and data to deep-space. It shows how
the critical arguments and material techniques of arguably the single
most exposed designer of the last century were overlooked at the time
but have become urgently relevant today.
