Philosophy• KW & RBF shared a lot from a technical
& methodological the point of view, yet…were very different ideologically• Fulller repudiated history in favor of nature…..• Wachsmann revered history, the ultimate source
of tectonic inspiration• Fulller sought the universally applicable
invention…• Wachsmann saw in the Crystal Palace and the
Gothic cathdrals a paradigm to which all subsequent bldgs should aspire

from Sanford Kwinter, “Fuller Themselves”“No other discipline makes small-mindedness a virtue quite the way architecture does, and nowhere as dogmatically as in it’s knowing denunciation of overextended ambition, unbridled invention, systematic theorization, obsessive technical rigor, sweeping universalism and anti-classicism – in a word, of Fuller. One might say, in the tradition of the Italian Futurists, that Fuller was the first truly secular architect, the first to embrace synthetic ideas and the brute realities of modernization to the total eschewal of tradition, it's glories and superstitions. Fuller was the veritable Einstein, the Schoenberg of architecture, but architecture was never interested in real revolutions. ….. Fuller revealed modern architecture to be an imposter, and in a treacherous, effective summoning of its own army of clerks, the architecture establishment succeeded in exiling him to its lunatic fringe.”

from Sanford Kwinter, “Fuller Themselves”“But Fuller was indomitable because he was the first to truly marry design to science and philosophy, and no one could then, nor now, dispute the following point: he alone was responsible for more fundamental innovations and transformations of thought than the entire profession could muster or make claim to in several hundred years.”
