More about: CHRIS ZELOV

Chris Zelov - Aug 1994 Air date Buckminster Fuller was a design

 outlaw. He shattered preconceived notions of how buildings and

 machines should be put together. The result was the geodesic dome,

 the 60 mile-per-gallon Dymaxion Car, the self-sufficient Dymaxion

 House and host of other inventions that influenced a new wave of

designers. In making their award-winning film, Ecological Design,

 Chris Zelov and Phil Cousineau interviewed 26 present-day design

outlaws. To expand on the film, they published this book. Both the

 film and the book are brimming with the ideas and prototypes of the

 trailblazers who have defined ecological design over the past thirty

 years. Here's a partial list of the outlaws:

Brendan O'Reagan, Ian McHarg, Douglas Adams, John Todd, Jay

 Baldwin, Stewart Brand, Mary Catherine Bateson, Paul McCready,

 William McDonough, Amory and Hunter Lovins, Hazel Henderson,

 Pliny Fisk, Paolo Soleri, Christopher Alexander, John Connell and

 many more. These forward-thinking designers have defied

convention with new ideas on shelter, energy, transportation and

 industry. In addition to being thought-provoking, these colorful

characters are very entertaining.
