Buckminster Fuller on Madison Avenue.


There is, as you likely know, a Buckminster Fuller exhibition at the Whitney Museum on Madison Avenue and 75th St. On the plate glass of an empty storefront just south of the Whitney is a quotation from Fuller.

I think our bedrooms spend two-thirds of the time empty.
I think our living-rooms spend seven-eighths of the time empty.
I think our office buildings spend one-half of the time empty.
I think that is something to think about.
