From the latest Fast Company:
"The visionary architect Buckminster Fuller believed that a single design could save the world. That ethos is being carried forward by the Buckminster Fuller Institute, which every year holds a contest to create a design with maximum social impact; the winner gets a seed grant of $100,000.
The 33 finalists, chosen from 285 entries, were just unveiled. The grand prize winner will be announced on May 4. Here, we've culled nine of our favorites: click here for their picks.
Buckminster Fuller has been a role model for years now but I was under the impression his legacy had all but vanished. It is really exciting to see the ideas stemming from what he began. And the projects fast Company highlighted are really awesome - I am sure Fuller would have felt he met some proper competition if he was still around today. Thanks for sharing this link.
