Edwin Schlossberg

American designer, author, and artist (born 1945), a pioneer of interactive experience design whose studio built some of the first hands-on museum environments — and a collaborator of Buckminster Fuller.

Schlossberg's career centers on designing participatory experiences, beginning in 1977 with an early hands-on learning environment for the Brooklyn Children's Museum, and continuing across museums, public spaces, and exhibitions. He has published widely, including Einstein and Beckett, and is a working artist as well as a designer.

Role in Fuller's orbit

Schlossberg is a direct collaborator of Fuller's later years: he worked with Fuller on Tetrascroll: Goldilocks Homolographic, the illustrated retelling of the Goldilocks story built around Fuller's tetrahedral geometry. His interest in participatory, experiential communication aligns with Fuller's conviction that ideas must be modeled and experienced, not merely stated.
