"Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees; Just give me a home, in a great circle dome Where stresses and strains are at ease"

- R. Buckminster Fuller

About this Quote

This quote by R. Buckminster Fuller speaks to the idea of simplicity and comfort. He is suggesting that architects should focus on creating aesthetically pleasing designs that will attract wealthy clients, but that he himself would prefer a simpler home. He envisions a home in a great circle dome, which is a reference to his invention of the geodesic dome. This type of structure is strong and efficient, and he believes it will provide a stress-free environment. He is suggesting that a simpler, more efficient home is preferable to a luxurious one. He is advocating for a home that is comfortable and peaceful, rather than one that is extravagant and showy. He is emphasizing the importance of comfort and simplicity over extravagance and luxury.
