The Buckminster Fuller Challenge is an award that every designer wants to win. Buckminster Fuller was a designer that was ahead of his time with his designs. To win the Buckminster Fuller award means a lifetime of recognition.

This year’s award was given to the designers of Mobility on Demand, a fleet of shared-use electric vehicles. The one shown here, the RoboScooter, is a foldable electric scooter with surprising speed and range.

Sustainable Personal Mobility and Mobility-on-Demand Systems (SPM/MoD), submitted by an interdisciplinary student team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab (MIT) has been selected as the winner of the 2009 Buckminster Fuller Challenge. In the opinion of this jury, the project best represents the comprehensive, anticipatory approach to design pioneered by R. Buckminster Fuller - it is a bold, visionary idea and beautiful.
