Railway Station" and the Metropol Hotel in Moscow. Neither in Synergetics, nor in
Tensegrity, did I find references to Shukhov's inventions. Whatever it was, but
today the most famous author who openly gives due credit in his works to both
Shukhov and Fuller is Norman Foster, who unites them in his work. The
movement of the Russian engineer's thought aside from the principle of
continuous-compression is also indicated by the fact that the tower on
Shabolovka was fundamentally built without a foundation.
It is possible that Fuller knew about Shukhov, but a number of circumstances
related to the appropriation of Shukhov cracking as one of his "five oil cases" by
the oil Grunch, at the beginning of the 20th century, did not allow Fuller to
mention him directly – as Fuller himself was not mentioned by many outstanding
authors, unambiguously hinting at the authorship of his ideas.
Fuller and Ohitovich
The artist of the Russian avant-garde, the Marxist Mikhail Okhitovich (who can be
judged more fully by one more book by Khan-Magomedov, dedicated to him),
who is undeservedly still unknown to the present day, brings together with Fuller
not only that this sociologist was the originator of the tradition of desurbanism,
whose resource-saving and optimizing ideas in due time even received an
economic settlement justification in the Soviet Gosplan and were caused by
difficulties with construction materials that the Soviet Republic experienced the
first years after the Civil and World War II oin (with and across Is Shuhov -.., even
when the original idea of the order of 300 m radio masts
its actual length of about
150 m and at these times the sample looks efficiency) and were subsequently
received innovators "one-storey America". Okhitovich was one of the first to
propose the idea of a mobile "living apparatus", with a whole line – from a single
cell and cell for one family to mobile-module dwellings for several families and art
communes of different generalities. True, on the basis of rectangular solutions,
rather than rounded or triangular, on which Fuller made a special accent. At the
same time, Okhitovich was almost the first in the world to use wood chipboards
as a resource-saving technology for creating materials, primarily for external
house-building, rather than furniture, panels that were particularly resistant to
the external environment. But the most important thing, perhaps, is that
Okhitovich and Fuller bring together his proposal for the actual geodetic
