Fuller believed in an underlying architecture of
nature, in which form and function were inextricably
linked. He believed that nature's blueprints would
make sense and would have practical relevance to
our lives on many levels. Before he died, X-ray
crystallographic studies had demonstrated that many
viruses - submicroscopic assemblies of
macromolecules on the edge of life itself - are
structured along the same geodesic principles as
those he discovered by playing around with
polyhedra.
He didn't live long enough to see it, but in addition to
all his other seminal inventions and ideas, a whole
new field of chemistry opened up around the
unpredicted discovery of soccer ball-like carbon
compounds with remarkable properties which quickly
became known as Buckminsterfullerenes or
buckyballs. Playing in his sandbox, following his own
path, his musings led to discoveries and worlds he
never dreamed of. So can yours. Fuller never thought
of himself as special in any sense, just a regular
person who liked to play with ideas and with forms.
His motto was: "If I can understand it, anybody can
understand it."
