[Bucky’s Dome] announced the passing of R. Buckminster Fuller‘s collaborator, Ed Applewhite last week, as ‘Ed Applewhite, gone fishing in the cosmos.’
Ed passed quietly at his home on the
morning of February 11, 2005. Ed was one of Bucky’s dearest friends and
his closest collaborator having the tenacity to compile and edit the
whole of Bucky’s thinking into the two-volume set titled Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking. Ed also compiled the Synergetic Dictionary
from a collection of 80,000 hand typed index cards that catalogued
Bucky’s unique way of talking about the phenomena he experienced in
Universe.
