Casey House will be offering a live presentation today on Synergetics University. Visit 52 Living Ideas and sign up on Meetup for the event on Sunday, April 30, 2023 at 6pm – 8pm Pacific Time.
Syn-U
Synergetics University (Syn-U) is a multi-media education experience in Design Science, Synergetics, and the works of Buckminster Fuller.
Synergetics University facilitates conversations and educational experiences that catalyze humanity’s intelligent and considerate participation in Earth’s ecosystems.
Richard Buckminster Fuller
Architect, Inventor, Polymath, Designer
“I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an integral function of the universe.”
― Richard Buckminster Fuller
“Bucky” had a lifelong interest in modeling nature’s coordinating system and creating a comprehensive design revolution in service to a world that works for 100% of all life.
His books Synergetics 1 & 2 are regarded by many as two of the most important books of the last century and yet they have become increasingly hard to find in any library or book store.
With this in mind, Syn-U builds necessary bridges into the study of Synergetics and translates the important work into modern and youthful assets for learning.
Synergetics
“Nature’s coordinate system is called Synergetics”
Synergetics is a comprehensive approach to design that models Nature’s integrity patterns and studies the generalized principles of life in Universe.
“synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by any part of the system as considered only separately”
Buckminster Fuller’s books Synergetics 1 & 2 span nearly 1500 pages, written in a “bucky” language that most people have a hard time understanding. Through geometric diagrams, eclectic prose, and scientific rigor — Bucky encourages us to consider the idea that we could generate progressively more life support while using progressively less resources by operating in accordance with nature’s efficient design parameters.
“For Fuller, nature is the most exquisite technology we know; and what underlies all of his work is the quest to uncover nature’s fundamental principles ― in order to foster their manifestation as a pattern integrity ‘for successfully regenerating all life aboard our planetary spaceship.’”
— Jaime Lawrence Snyder
Synergetics is an excercise in identifying nature’s generalized principles — the always true axioms of design that we are surrounded by in the natural world.
“The physical Universe is a self-regenerative process. Its regenerative interrelationships and intertransformings are governed by a complex code of weightless, generalized principles.”
— RBF “Synergetics” 220.05
