Bucky Inc' offers a deep exploration of Richard Buckminster Fullers work andthought to shed new light on the questions raised by our increasingly electronic world.It shows that Fullers entire career was a multi-dimensional reflection on the architec-ture of radio. He always insisted that the real site of architecture is the electromagnet-ic spectrum. His buildings were delicate mobile instruments for accessing the invisi-ble universe of overlapping signals. Every detail was understood as a way of tuninginto hidden waves. Architecture was built in, with, for and as radio. Bucky Inc. rethinksthe legacy of one of the key protagonists of the twentieth-century. It draws extensivelyon Fullers archive to follow his radical thinking from toilets to telepathy, plastic toprosthetics, and data to deep-space. It shows how the critical arguments and materi-al techniques of arguably the single most exposed designer of the last century wereoverlooked at the time but have become urgently relevant toda
