Daniel López-Pérez

Architect and educator; editor of the Fuller lecture volumes R. Buckminster Fuller: World Man (2013) and Pattern-Thinking (2020).

Daniel López-Pérez is an architect and university educator who has built much of his scholarly work around the recovery and interpretation of Buckminster Fuller's spoken and written thought. As an editor he specializes in taking Fuller's lectures — often delivered extemporaneously — and reconstructing them into carefully annotated volumes that surface the structure of Fuller's ideas and the distinctive vocabulary he used to express them.

Relationship to Fuller

Relationship: chronicler. López-Pérez edited R. Buckminster Fuller: World Man, the Princeton Architectural Press volume built around the typescript of the "World Man" lecture that R. Buckminster Fuller delivered extemporaneously on October 5, 1966, as the inaugural Kenneth Stone Kassler Memorial Lecture at Princeton. For that book he paired the lecture with a glossary of Fuller's evolving terminology and reproductions of his Geoscope blueprints. He continued this work in Pattern-Thinking, a further reconstruction of Fuller's lectures that compiles and organizes Fuller's lexicon — the coined and repurposed terms through which Fuller framed his comprehensive, anticipatory design science. His editorial project merges the previously duplicated "Daniel Lopez-Perez" record into this single entry.
