Launch of website in July 2020
Commemorating the 129th birthday of
Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895 – 1983)

The Buckyworld Confluence website has been launched – dedicated to the heritage of Richard Buckminster Fuller’s inspiration, including the legacy of the Campuan World Meetings in Bali and Penang, to be furthered as the Buckyworld Confluence, conferences, lectures and other activities. The initiative has been hosted and maintained as a socio- cultural responsibility project of Hotel Bellevue on Penang Hill, where Fuller spent many years with his Malaysian Architect friend Lim Chong Keat, both collaborating to convene the Campuan World Meetings in Bali and Penang from 1976 to 1983, with subsequent meetings in continuation. The Buckyworld Confluence was initiated in 2015, with the Campuan Meeting Twelve, and from 2020 supersedes the Campuan appellation, as confluence is the translation for Campuan, our version of the place name Campuhan at the conflux of the rivers near Ubud, Bali.

The website aims to connect friends aware of Fuller’s cosmic views, many who have attended previous Campuan meetings in Bali, Penang and also at Cambridge, Massachusetts and UK.

Previous releases have shared archival images of the years with Fuller, presaging a book in progress by Lim: “Confluencing with Bucky: a journal of the years with Fuller, 1971 to 1983 and thereafter”. Bellevue may also be planning future meetings and related activities, with fresh initialtives under a Trust.

The inaugural website was launched at noon on Sunday 12 July 2020, coinciding with the birthday of Fuller (1895-1983) with a sunsight event “Dawning: Resurrection” featuring the renown dancer Ramli Ibrahim at the Bellevue panoramic terrace.*

With greetings from Lim Chong Keat, Brian A Wong & Jon Su
