"Whenever I draw a circle I immediately want to step out of it." Buckminster Fuller stated this and clearly defined it through out the course of his life. He was a philosopher, thinker, visionary, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet, cosmologist and more. He was said to be one of the greatest living geniuses. Albert Einstein thought he was one of the smartest individuals he had ever met. Although he saw himself as a average human being, a random element on a world full of elements. "I am not a thing, a noun. I seem to be a verb" Buckminster fuller was more then any of these things, he was a inventor. He invented three major things in the course of his life: The dymaxion car, dymaxion house and the geodesic dome. .
Buckminster Fuller had a very tough life. When he was growing up he was cross eyed, unpopular and bullied at school. He was different in every respect. When the teacher gave the class tooth picks and told them to make shapes he was the only child in the whole class to form a triangle. The teacher called all the other teachers in to examine this. Fuller was surprised that they hadn't figured this out themselves. It seemed like he did not fit anywhere. In classes, although he received straight A's he disputed the teachers and did not believe a lot of what they said. This also caused trouble when he went to university. He got kicked out because of lack of interest. This could be understandable in some cases but not when he was going to Harvard like everyone in his family before him. Later in life he would go back to that school and lecture there in his vast findings in the very thing that they thought he had lack of interest in: Geometry. In 1924 he went bankrupt and 3 years later his child passed away. In 1927, at the age of 32, Buckminster Fuller stood on the shores of Lake Michigan, ready to throw himself into the water. His first child had passed away. He was without a doubt bankrupt, discredited and jobless, and he had a wife and new born daughter.
