You’ll find the author's blog at BuckyIdeas.com. Please visit there to read about Buckminster Fuller's IDEAS for today and for news about upcoming events and books.FORM FOLLOWS IDEA examines the work and ideas of influential designers Ralph Ball and Maxine Naylor. Their reflections and propositions provide a refreshing and provocative approach to design, touching on issues such as craftsmanship, modernism, and the role of nature and commercialism in design. Ball and Naylor's work explores ideas of space beyond the physical object. Their concern with cultural and social values is manifest in the form and (dis)function of their designs and appropriations of everyday objects, such as chairs, lights and shelving. FORM FOLLOWS IDEA features their approach to these objects through cultural, ecological and visual narratives. As such, their book provides a playful yet critical re-evaluation of familiar forms and typologies.

"Rugged textured cable pipes ran over my head at a train station in New York, creating a trance-like, frightful pattern," says Gautam Kamat Bambolkar. "They ran from the edge of the entrance to an infinite end. It looked nothing less than a scary man-made cave." 1. Embrace abundance, not scarcity. Humans are falsely conditioned by the notion of scarcity promoted by Charles Darwin and Thomas Malthus. The idea of survival of the fittest sets up an us-versus-them mentality. If we believe there is not enough for all, overconsumption and greed are natural results. Only by embracing abundance and setting out to prove there is enough for all can we achieve Bucky’s overriding objective, “To make the world work for one hundred percent of all humanity in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological damage or harm to any individual.” In other words, whether we think we can or think we can’t, we are right.

Having been invited to work with Rex Beddis with
respect for his own experience of volcanic activity
in Iceland and regard to the development of an
Interactive Videodisc Multimedia project utilising the
BBC Doomsday Videodisc Player, which acted as the
catalyst of my suggestion to OUP of utilising the new
CD-ROM technology for the alternative distribution
of the Oxford English Dictionary [OED] having at that
time already demonstrated such use of the new
technology to Encyclopedia Brittanica, at home in
Tackley, which resulted in them responding on their
return to the USA, with the comment that any
thought of using this technology was nothing more
than "ALL SMOKE & MIRRORS". Needless to say OUP were the first to pioneer the
idea, and continued to implement their enthusiasm
for the use of technology for the purposes of their
printing and eventually a customised system which I
established for them to digitise the entirety of their
ARTWORK COLLECTION that allowed them to transfer
their entire archive of hand drawn & painted artwork
into digital format, by way of a system which I set up
for them in the basement close to where their
original printing press stood.
