After careful research on Buckminster Fuller's "Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth", we performed a graphic interpretation of its content.
As we interfere in his work, we follow a criteria of humanity and conscience.
Through a series of analogies we connect its content to other works like "I Seem to Be a Verb" and "Laws of Simplicity". The page brings us a visual metaphor where Fuller's ideals and theories (shown in black) are confronted with the analytical white layer - a series of numbers and quantitative information of our planet.
This clash of information concurs with the motto "Occupy", bringing awareness,
and asking for change.
Dimensions - 841 x 594 mm
Support - Wrapping paper from Ikea + White markers
Typography - Orator Std + Platelet Heavy
