An intriguing series of articles by Daniel Christian Wahl recognizes visionaries of regenerative design that have had an immense impact on shaping the world. Buckminster Fuller, for one, has left an impressive legacy with his wide spectrum of curiosity and work.

Fuller has been described as an inventor, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet, cosmologist, visionary humanist, inspirational orator and the 20th-century Leonardo da Vinci.

The 2017 article points out Fuller’s discoveries, perspectives and accomplishments in the fields of fossil fuels, renewable energy, geodesic domes, ecological design, universal laws, synergetics and Fuller’s thoughts on human presence, purpose and potential on this planet.

What Fuller expressed as the need for considering the ‘omnisystem’ or as an ‘omnidisciplinary’ approach, is what… [we] need for trans -disciplinary integration and synthesis. Once human designs are salutogenic, contributing to both human and the planetary health, once they are synergistically linked into cooperative networks at every scale, and once they follow nature’s design principles, humanity will begin to fulfil the full potential of its syntropic role in the universe — the universe becoming fully conscious of itself through humanity’s conscious participation. This is the essence of sustainability — the arrow of evolution arriving in the eternal now of conscious and appropriate participation, responsible co-creation, and creatively adaptive design.
