Buckminster Fuller

Inventor, Designer, Architect, Mathematician and Futurist, Bucky Fuller was known for pioneering the geodesic dome. Using Tensegrity structures found in nature, Fuller applied these principles towards design solutions. Born in 1895, and kicked out of Harvard twice, Fuller passed away in 1983 with 47 honorary degrees and as the president of Mensa. 

Fuller pioneered sustainability and explored material efficiency during the 1950's.
