Only through systematic comprehensive planning does humanity have a chance to survive its growing crisis. Oddly, there are no specific references to Design Science listed in the book's index. However, without mentioning Design Science or synergitics directly, Kappraff continually touches on these topics from the twin perspectives of mathematics and aesthetics. Clinton's extensive background in design, computer technology, engineering, mathematics and his long professional association with RBF qualify him as one of the true geodesics experts in the world. This company specializes in environmentally considerate design systems such as solar and wind structures and systems, expandable space trusses and commercial geodesic structures which include Epcot Center's Horizon Omnisphere Theater and the Onmi Max Theater for Expo 86 in Vancouver, Canada.
Science is the logical, systematic and empirical method of research and ordering of experiences.
Design Science is concerned with improving the performance of both the components and processes of the specific technologies and the larger system of which they are a part. It is concerned with applying our evolving know-bow to reducing waste and better allowing us to improve our technologies as applied to specific problems.
