🏗️ Fuller understood that the product was never the dome. It was the narrative of total redesign. Do more with less is a design principle and a meme that outlived its artifacts. Silicon Valley inherits the story, not the structures. The sleep schedule is branding. The real prototype was permission to think at planetary scale. Do better , Elon.

This is interesting 👍

From the website:

Origins
Fuller's Vision For Global Design

Buckminster Fuller created the World Game in 1961 as a tool for understanding humanity's greatest challenges. He believed that with the right information and collaborative thinking, we could solve problems once thought impossible.

A game without winners

The World Game operates on a principle that contradicts traditional competition. Everyone wins when humanity wins, and the simulation reveals how our choices ripple across the globe.

Systems thinking in action

Players encounter the interconnected nature of resources, economics, and human need. What seems like a local decision carries global consequences, teaching participants how the world actually works.

Design science as method

Fuller's approach combined rigorous data with creative imagination. The World Game demonstrates that solving for all of humanity requires both scientific precision and bold thinking.

"The LongHouse Reserve closes for the season each winter, and brings its more fragile artworks inside to protect them from the winter weather. That includes the chess pieces—which are all white—from Play It By Trust, a 1999 work by Yoko Ono, and ceramic vessels by Toshiko Takaezu."

I have no idea how this film came to be called
H.G. Wells' The Shape of Things to Come but I will say how nice it was to see the old #Toronto #OntarioPlace as it was and especially the #BuckminsterFuller designed but sadly overbuilt (bucky said) dome, and, well, maybe I'd rather remember it destroyed by an evil megalomaniacal technocrat. #monsterdon material for sure
