Buckminster Fuller

Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller (rođen 12. jula 1895. u Miltonu, Massachusetts, SAD; umro 1. jula 1983. u Los Angelesu) je bio američki arhitekta, dizajner, filozof i pisac.
Napisao je dvadeset i osam knjiga, u kojima je iznosio svoje ideje i poglede na svijet. Bio je zaokupljen egzistencijalnim pitanjima i načinima poboljšanja kvaliteta života. Mnogo je puta proputovao svijet i održao brojna predavanja. Njegovi izumi s područja arhitekture i dizajna, često su bili ispred svoga vremena. Poznata je njegova geodetska kupola - rešetkasta školjkasta struktura (vidi sliku, desno). mini|desno|125px|Geodetska kupola.

Njegov uticaj je bio veliki na brojne ljude. Između ostalih, osobe na koje je uticao su: Constance Abernathy, Ruth Asawa, J. Baldwin, Michael Ben-Eli, Pierre Cabrol, Joseph Clinton, Peter Floyd, Medard Gabel, Michael Hays, David Johnston, Robert Kiyosaki, Peter Pearce, Shoji Sadao, Edwin Schlossberg, Kenneth Snelson, i Robert Anton Wilson.

Alotrop ugljenika, fulleren— i posebno molekula alotropa C60 (buckminsterfuleren ili buckyball) je imenovan po njemu. Molekula Buckminsterfulerena, koja se sastoji od 60 ugljikovih atoma, veoma vjerno nalikuje sferičnoj verziji Fuller-ove geodetske kupole. Godine 1996. Nobelova nagrada za hemiju je dodijeljena naučnicima Kroto-u, Curl-u, i Smalley-u, za njihovo otkriće fullerena.
