Design Science Framework

Buckminster Fuller was one of our world’s first futurists and global thinkers. His 1927 decision to work
always and only for all humanity led him to address the largest global problems of poverty, disease and
homelessness. He realized early on that by examining global problems in the context of the whole system—the
whole planet—he would have the best chance of identifying large-scale trends that would allow him to anticipate
the critical needs of humanity.

This article, “Design Science, A Framework for Change”, by Michael Ben-Eli, summarizes the design process that
Buckminster Fuller utilized in his many and eclectic endeavors.
