"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 with the idea of simpleness and comfort. He is suggesting that architects need to concentrate on developing visually pleasing designs that will bring in rich customers, however that he himself would prefer an easier home. He envisions a house in a fantastic circle dome, which is a reference to his innovation of the geodesic dome. This kind of structure is strong and effective, and he thinks it will supply a worry-free environment. He is recommending that a simpler, more effective home is more suitable to an elegant one. He is advocating for a home that is comfy and serene, rather than one that is extravagant and showy. He is highlighting the significance of comfort and simpleness over overindulgence and high-end.
