Buckminster Fuller

The Buckminster Fuller Institute is dedicated to accelerating the
development and deployment of solutions which radically advance human well being and the health of our planet’s ecosystems. The organization aims to deeply influence the ascendance of a new generation of design-science pioneers who are leading the creation of an abundant and restorative world economy that benefits all humanity.

BFI programs combine unique insight into global trends and local needs with a comprehensive approach to design. The organization encourages participants to conceive and apply transformative strategies based on a crucial synthesis of whole systems thinking, Nature’s fundamental principles, and an ethically driven worldview.

Programs include the Buckminster Fuller Challenge, an annual international design Challenge awarding $100,000 to support the development and implementation of a strategy that has significant potential to solve humanity’s most pressing problems. The Buckminster Fuller Challenge attracts bold, visionary, tangible initiatives focused on a well-defined need of critical importance. Winning solutions are regionally specific yet globally applicable and present a truly comprehensive, anticipatory, integrated approach to solving the world’s complex problems.
