Randall M. Whaley Archive of Buckminster Fuller Ephemera 蘭德爾‧惠利檔案:巴克敏斯特‧富勒相關短期印刷藏品
The Randall M. Whaley Archive of Buckminster Fuller Ephemera contains 208 items of ephemera relating to American architect and theorist R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983). Fuller's widespread influence extended to Hong Kong where he visited, lectured, influenced the architect Tao Ho, and indirectly left a mark on the city's built landscape as one of the biggest influences on Norman Foster. Fuller connects to numerous threads present throughout the M+ collections, such as his transnational perspective or his highly influential experimental propositions, his relationship with Asia—and especially Southeast Asia— as witnessed in collections such as the Sumet Jumsai Archive. Fuller was also a collaborator of the Singaporean architect Lim Cheong Keat, whose work is represented in the M+ Collection.
