The Buckminster Fuller Challenge
Posted in Models by Devin Maeztri on June 16th, 2009
The Buckminster Fuller Challenge is an annual award of $100,000 prize to support the development and implementation of a strategy that has significant potential to solve humanity’s most pressing problems.
What they look from the entries are:
- Comprehensive – addressing the interaction of key issues responsible for present conditions; aims to solve multiple problems without creating new ones
- Anticipatory – factoring in critical future trends and needs as well as potential long term impacts of implementation
- Ecologically responsible – reflecting nature’s underlying principles while enhancing the Earth’s life-support systems
- Feasible – relying on current technology and existing resources
- Verifiable – able to withstand rigorous empirical testing
- Replicable – able to scale and adapt to a broad range of condition
