The Fuller World; 2; The Sum Of Its Parts

you are by costly triangles that will unfold and becomes the structure is built on the principle of a sixty degree angle these buildings have appeared

around the past decades as part of the work one man r buckminster fuller was a man who sees the world as something more than the summit is to follow one said i did not set out to design a house that hung from a pole or to manufacture a new type of automobile invent anew system of map projections developed geodesic domes are energetic geometry i started with the universe as an organization of regenerative principles frequently manifest as energy systems on which all our experiences and possible experiences are only local instances i could've ended up with a pair of lions leopards instead of flying circus he did all of those things he did not set out to do and to accompany them he invented a new vocabulary he was forced to find human world where

sometimes to call in humans because the concept behind his ideas of the universe did not fit the usual definitions of the subjects the definitions of art is a penetrating scrutiny the massachusetts institute of technology the problem of mathematics as a very accurate definition of malcolm x across and their definitions fell along with the first sentence of it as mathematics as most people think i was the science of number is in fact the science of structure and pattern in general the ideas of structure that men have i am not rain sodden as we see popular because people don't believe that great squares and tubes rediscover the squares and tubes a highly the storm or avoided a whole lot of

a sudden i find you know reinforcing i went to think about structure and the terms of a grind top liaison it saves energy and then his associates must logically and energy associates so shea shalom with association i have to say it but it's identical farms ideally is too mathematical audiences number of times and asked them to put these two pieces together in a large come out and they will take these two quad rhinos are trying to say that what you need us and autonomy as other data to find it as that drive us about his audience may try putting those together and the cows you find anything logical way of bain bain as beavis a magical triangle in the gm cars are vast amount of the

program but the fact is that what we want to do is to rotate one of these bikers goes of itself i was a farm the robber wrote a lot of the lightness and then create and i asked and then they said no because of the freedom and ours because see if i was a force here what is going on here is another ninety degree association were so it was people tend to think in terms of clapping their hands what one is as and she on the other the other colleges and directors and the fundamental steps and make sure i'm not alone and so shame the terms of nineteen years but usually in the terms of these of sixty minutes so the customer review of structures not fall is in order to understand his it's vital to look at his vocabulary

almost synonymous with him in the mind of the public is the word die maxine going from dynamism maximum and iowans and given to the timex ian house in nineteen twenty seven hookworm boils down to mean doing the most with the least but imax in apartment was designed along the same why we'll tension principle as the house the hexagonal beck claims was suspended by tension cables from a central tower forest gets to tell of the rods built on by maxine principles and suggested it is an exhibit for the nineteen thirty three chicago world's fair the accompanying note read in part i tell a support and self operating elevated the circles of talking separate rights for up and down rows entirely supported by cables overhead could be made a hundred decks high and be colossally beautiful structures one up the only direction and engines for invasion than omni directional vehicle which he called his for the transport he described it was young daughter as a snowmobile

could hop off the road it will fly about and settle back into place in traffic while his first impressions were never produced many by maxine developments have reached the market but imax ian coss incorporated many of the features of the forty transport and have a cigar shape nose in front of a teardrop silhouette for minimum air resistance the college mile the unusual the spring and author of maximum comfort of eleven passengers who could speed along at one hundred and twenty mph maxine cause were produced in the early nineteen thirties but they were considered far too radical for mass consumption since that time many of their features have been incorporated into contemporary automotive design a dozen prototypes of the dice them to die maxine bathroom or produced the unit was composed of four basic pieces complete the whole interior appeared to be one surface without angles all curves and occupied

across space five feet by five feet and weigh four hundred and twenty pounds about as much as one cast finished porcelain top of the refrigerator the bathroom could be installed in a few minutes what's the pre fabricated metaphors of intake inventing ways parts were connected the bathroom was ready for use first the fall as products to be mass produced was that imax in the trauma unit and operating many of the principles of about taxi in house unit with a conversion of a corrugated grain storage bin despite the top was replaced with a compound curvature roof and skylights and the ladies porthole windows and the dollar added walls and ceilings were lined with fiberglass back wall board fourth lp been designed with the most efficient engineering units available at that time nineteen forty for small prefabricated houses the cost of less than one dollar per square foot was eighty percent under that of competitive construction using that i'm actually in the poem and you make the united states army signal corps and a

core were able to have a first rate operating hart's light enough to be flown and simple enough to be speedily assembled hundreds or service in the pacific and persian gulf during world war two full application of that imax in principles came with the wichita house of nineteen forty five forty six developed for the birds postwar conversion of aircraft industry the housing purposes and produced at the beach bacharach planted wichita kansas the house was engineered fusing aircraft tools an assembly line techniques as a full scale pilot model for a production run it was an aluminum steel and plexiglas structure suspended from a central mast just as the nineteen twenty seven by maxine house the twenty two foot last form of seven three and stainless steel tubes weighed seventy two pounds and was capable of carrying the entire weight of the house and out of one hundred and twenty people the interior was divided into two bedrooms each with its own bath a living room kitchen and entry hall with a grand space below

also the atlantic city's laundry dish washing facilities was centralized around the last the total weight of the structure was six thousand pounds and all component parts to be packed into a single syllable for delivery unlimited mass production the house would've retail at sixty five dollars full volume production would've cut the cost of thirty seven hundred and thirty seven purchase separate seven hundred purchase applications was signed but with the end of the war funds were diverted elsewhere in the initial financing was not raised no flying slippers here in these dime axiom conventions another new phrase appeared wistful as evolution of a mathematical system is energetic energetic geometry it was about the stomach for a more rational coordinate geometry as the working base is for his projects use of the word sally

jenkins used to define the manner in which a whole system act says more than simple some of its parts sinaloa may contain quantities of turned anonymous energetic geometry is more than a mathematical system as its obligations appear in diverse natural phenomenon that provides a clue to walk maybe make his basic award and it says that system was established would be a major step toward eliminating the gaps between particular sciences the much ballyhooed war between science and the humanities me ref began a century and a half ago when the mathematicians became this consulate over the fact that the early greek philosopher as kitty played oh the

envy of scientists philosophers have attempted to explain the physical phenomenon display nature by geometry the jump at the gym at graduation the plight of had proven to be an unsound and because of that the mathematicians really about dave isay a must in theory are complex so there's a militia grant then about a century ago we began to have some microscopic good of all a crystal chris minus they began and the physical side is said to the mathematicians we seen this season jim at goethe farms here can you not tie up the mathematics without jumping the mathematicians not being physical side it's really didn't

understand what's going on than having been one by the elevator the greeks decided to go exactly the opposite direction from explaining that out and they retreated deliberately into complete abstraction they said they were going after a great parody of generalize case of mathematics but then i i think that while they underestimate had a great integrity about their desire to get the pure generalize case can be a distraction they also it tended to be motivated really emotionally by that they're fair of following the same an adequate say that the early greek sat i've thought i feel that the mathematicians to deploy departure off into a complete abstraction npr that a little to allay the ticket they took off from a classical physics that you go from a newtonian world and israel now than the iowa state in the world has has replaced many of the fundamental

facts in fundamental ways of looking at things primarily newton's idea that the body persistent interstate arrests august second of a lot of motion except is affected by other bodies newtonian world they passed the world victorian world up to ride that einstein found the the static to be the normal no changes no einstein into an einstein was back in the opposite direction over into a universe in which an extraordinary motion was normal here this is where the speed of light on a six thousand miles a second about and that became the norm and from this time on we are in a universe of its continual transitions transformations and the big jump it was obviously extremely inadequate and mathematicians love i glad that they had departed from that seem to agree with that they intend to deal with it when they governed jumper taught us is that a job that you just

i don't really read have no no heat no wait no time to mention though longevity so far do not exist in any physical sense so that they get an insanely great job has been really abstract npr but he was a great natural philosophers who had made a mistake or private non violent jump in on it just then the sea the dilemma that the mathematicians had left us and we've seen that having taken a departure from the neutron in static they had gone off just a little too early and so not a tip do you have a body of mathematics you have to have some prime points of the plot recalls the axioms and what the mathematicians have taken to be self evident truths which weren't it cannot be proven which had been a question about vaccines have i feel been quite inadequate they weren't there were relatively

static once and i'm going to try to examine some of the great differences between what you'd have to do them as pop axioms going to make a mathematics suitable for the exploration of his government and other knives could explain the physical phenomenon than the great chasm between science and humanities would be qualified because conceptually it would return the science of that as it is now you know the scientists to deal with things like crystals and with viruses with with human beings but you're saying that the conceptual the the mathematics with richard sciences has happened to operate that will recognize know conceptually know model or so models were invalid all comers greek fiasco and that thought if skipp sexuality could beef could be brought back in the mad max quite clearly than the writers the authors would have something to write about but also has to

have a model to describe an audience to talk to the public and they had the writers of the millions on them theoretically between the sides of the mountains and we take away them the models so conceptually can be found to be return aboard to the mathematics then we can say that the science that what size of dueling can be understood conceptually and then he wrote this and then read rejoin the examination of our total experience models reflect the axioms another image of that geometry before the figure called affect your equilibrium fourteen sided figure which occurs when as many spheres as possible impact around the central city is a keystroke he uses a device which he calls the jitterbug to show that the money extracted this figure in chains size and shape without changing the length of any

of its members were fourteen sided figure becomes an eight sided one call an arctic even for the manipulated the uk to hebrew and becomes the country in the three dimensional figure with the least possible number of services even as the figure which opposes the least amount of space with the most services since the spirit closes the most space with police service customize that the most economical structure likely to ride through a fusion of the tech freedom in the state but by using the a prosecutor in the multi phased effort even on whose courtesies lie on the services the great britain to do this it's not your destiny of a family activity it literally means the shortest distance between two points senator sessions and geodesic

structures there were no inherent size limitations as the system grows the frequency of triangulation increases its relative strength grows at a faster rate than the weight of the structure so it grows relatively lighter and stronger as the size increases do you does that domes had been manufactured for many sorts of material by the us raid owns built for use on the arctic humans they are required to withstand two and ten mile per hour winds and be permeable the radar beams that the domes produced for the marine corps for six man domes will one third the weight of a six men tend to cost one fifteenth as much use less than ten dollars worth of materials and packed into a small carrying gates plexiglas an aluminum tubing the climate from the missouri botanical garden in st louis seventy feet high one hundred and seventy five feet in diameter that contains a ground

surface of over one half acre to individual act and issuing systems allow the maintenance of several different climates within the climate around the hottest area corresponds to a tropical lowland jungle where an amazon forest and body area have been built fb so it has cooled days and more nights similar to oceanic climate regions hear the most colorful tropical flowers grow a tropical mountains far as climates around the waterfall region lush vegetation from near the equator thrives within this dome in the northern temperate regions aluminum the one hundred and forty five foot diameter kaiser auditorium in honolulu it was built in twenty two hours and a concert with an alliance symphony orchestra was held in it just twenty four hours after the dome's components i arrived on the islands nuts bolts

six a plan for a geodesic dome all combine with aluminum tubing and rubberized plastic to manufacture a forty two foot diameter utilities structure the five hours of construction condensed into twenty five seconds reveals how six men can assemble the hemisphere these domes have been used for storage shelter and exhibition by millions around the world i like different usage of nuts bolts and joins appear in another type of former construction that based on that uncertainty principle beneath what seems to be magically support instructions by the same axioms that explain the structure of balloons fission it's a molecule

the individual confession strikes do not touch the tension we talk about the many bags time was such an automobile tire and we look at the nomadic bag and we have a microscope by kathleen a summer sky was full of holes and as much is full is called his son abd say well it is not a something we really met by a film eastern minutes of the film is sort of fool ourselves the thing is only in continuous and impervious to continue his plane and the reason that this was a football throughout asylum out a bag is really a network isn't that within that is sought by the mention of that is so small as too small for the individual molecules of gas to go out through solid lead in that hole is aimed at mount molecule

gastro most of my fish that was the fish that they're very much the same way because the molecules of gas i'm literally trying to impinge against me in baghdad is a impingement out of the molecules in gaza by the push to back out of the economy long time ago that i might be able to take in the magic bag and at a hollowed out just leaving the molecules that hit the the bag getting the back and you say well the mother lode marches again loosen the senate where you hollowed out there and that i've put out into the tents a restructured it's just such an arrangement each one of the precious drug sometimes i really in that sense a gritty city owns these islands of compression as restaurants east end of them are pushing out against attention on that less is actually a similar to a molecule at acting pushing off each other like two summers in the military the bushel from each other fleet opposite directions without you want to push off of each other each of the bag and puts it back out today even

in a glancing blow not only get them stable we have to get them across each other and triangles last of a new in the ten senators like you're so defined them that that that here's another part on that and situation we said the tension is it a holy and the compression numbers and you see individual molecules of spots from pushing out that late and a high frequency density would restructure the ends of each member literally seem to touch the middle of the next a seventy two foot diameter experimental basketry door was built by design students on the campus of southern illinois university that is large enough to hold the fight for building the twenty thousand square feet of floor space it is

made of only four hundred and fifty dollars worth of like your basic structures and secondly stretches can be made in virtually limitless sizes larger they become a stronger they are looking into the future has calculated tent city stretches up to two miles in diameter i don't know the size could cover most of upper manhattan weighing about eighty thousand tons could be assembled in five times sections by helicopters and would cost about two hundred million dollars he believes that the savings to the city and airconditioning street cleaning and snow removal which to repay the initial investment only electrically powered motor vehicles would be allowed in the dome covered city bus gasoline and diesel fumes would be eliminated as pension funds equity domes are another project for the future plans for a number to be built in japan one seven hundred and fifty feet in diameter call them to the factory will win like great fish nets and as mentioned don't would rise energetically on site from its golden form

of the outward pouring of a base ring before world is one of unique insight it's even it's not directly displays its demand for her precision accuracy and invention but i like c in their ocean map is the first shot to show the whole surface of the earth in a single view with virtually imperceptible distortion in relative shapes and sizes of london's the masses it is that the particle transfer of four was trying to lead it systems from the surface of his failing to the acquittal in space on the faces of the three dimensional figure the same presses and broadens energetic energetic geometry i'm doing this island and laying this conflict gives the surface of the map but i might see a map of the earth's surface is one great continental archipelago lying within one world ocean this view of the world as a unity with all sections connected to and dependent upon each other is fundamental before was work he feels that the resources material an intellectual of the
