She has published articles on industrial design, interior design, film, and architecture. A recent essay, ‘‘Architecture in Motion: the Interior Design of Skylab,’’ written for The Art Institute of Chicago, appears in Building for Space Travel (2001).
139 During the 1930s the American designer Richard
140141Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) created three prototypes of a streamline vehicle design known as the Dymaxion. These vehicle designs function as readable texts comprised of signs that can be interpreted. In order to gain an understanding of how these vehicle designs act as cultural signs that convey meaning, we must also examine Fuller's writings from the same period. His writings have always seemed idiosyncratic, somewhat hermetic, and unnecessarily complex. The semiotic theory created by the American pragmatist philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce holds the potential of arriving at a new understanding of this ‘‘Fuller-speak.’’
