dedicated to the heritage of Richard Buckminster Fuller\u2019s 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. <br><br>The website aims to connect friends aware of Fuller\u2019s cosmic views, many who have attended previous Campuan meetings in Bali, Penang and also at Cambridge, Massachusetts and UK.<br><br>Previous releases have shared archival images of the years with Fuller, presaging a book in progress by Lim: \u201cConfluencing with Bucky: a journal of the years with Fuller, 1971 to 1983 and thereafter\u201d. Bellevue may also be planning future meetings and related activities, with fresh initialtives under a Trust.<br><br> The inaugural website was launched at noon on Sunday 12 July 2020, coinciding with the birthday of Fuller (1895-1983) with a sunsight event \u201cDawning: Resurrection\u201d featuring the renown dancer Ramli Ibrahim at the Bellevue panoramic terrace.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-black-color wp-elements-1e8c0bf395d8d94a830d5f6794aac273 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>With greetings from Lim Chong Keat, Brian A Wong &amp; Jon Su<\/strong><br>Directors, <br><br>Hotel Bellevue Sdn Bhd.

The first was when I was traveling with Bucky at age 19 and we stopped there en route to Asia for other meetings with architects in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Mumbai, and Delhi: culminating in a meeting with Prime Minster Indira Gandhi. And then in 1977 I had the great privilege of participating in the second Campuan World Meeting (and Bucky\u2019s birthday), and was in Bali for two weeks! While I have not been back since then, Allegra and Alexandra have both made trips there in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The connections with architects around the world was such an important element of Bucky\u2019s commitment: and this evolution into the Buckyworld Confluence @ Bellevue is an important initiative to carry this synergy forward, as our planet faces the gravest of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wish your team the greatest success in this new beginning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With warmest regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jaime<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/message-p1-v2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/message-p1-v2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/message-p1-v2-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/message-p1-v2-768x608.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"954\" height=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7.jpg 954w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7-300x1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7-150x2.jpg 150w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7-768x2.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:62%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Message from <strong>Thomas T.K. Zung<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard Buckminster Fuller (fondly \u201cBucky\u201d), in the famous TIME article, is referred as \u201cEarth&#8217;s friendly genius\u201d. For many, Fuller&#8217;s influence is still to be fuller realized. With iconic men of science, visionaries like Fuller and Leonardo da Vinci are studied for their ideas to fulfill humanity, and as Bucky himself said &#8220;to support and cooperate in the shortest time possible without disadvantage to others, and without ecological harm to Spaceship Earth for all mankind.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help fulfill Fuller&#8217;s &#8216;Critical Path&#8217;, one of Bucky colleagues in Southeast Asia, Lim Chong Keat founded with him the Campuan World Conferences, a gathering of luminaries involved with `synergetics&#8217;, the geometry of thinking. Bucky looked forward to these gatherings held in Bali and Malaysia, and until his death, Campuan was his dymaxion event. The Bucky inscription of Feb. 14, 1983, poised a question available to everyone: &#8220;Are humans a worthwhile to Universe invention?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My name is Thomas T K Zung, once a student of Bucky at Virginia Tech in 1952, the architectural class mesmerized by this polymath, a friendly who made beautiful geodesic domes from toothpicks, marshmallows and rubber bands. A man who advised a 19-year-old due to be drafted for the Korean War, to study chemistry instead of wasting time bar- hopping when on army off duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years later, with the architectural connectivity of Buckminster Fuller, Sadao &amp; Zung Architects, and Shirley Sharkey, Bucky&#8217;s Executive Secretary, we have known many \u201cFullerites\u201d. In addition to his incredible staff and his best friend, Isamu Noguchi, several are prominent as pathfinders, Datuk Seri Lim Chong Keat is one. He joins colleagues like Lord Norman Foster (they both graduated in Architecture from the University of Manchester), Sir Harry Kroto (co-Nobel laureate for C60, the buckminsterfullerene) &#8211; and Carl Solway, art connoisseur; together making up a brilliant Buckminster Fuller tetrahedron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you Chong Keat for your valuable contribution, &#8216;The Campuan Meetings and Bucky in Southeast Asia\u2019 published in my book \u201cBuckminster Fuller Anthology\u201d (St. Martin&#8217;s Press edition in 2001; revised edition, SIU Press, 2014.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the occasion of Bucky&#8217;s 125th birthday, although regretfully the Covid 19 prevents in-person presence, we join in spirit for the buckyconfluence.org website launch with our Penang friends. Happy 125th Birthday, Bucky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With admiration, respectfully yours, <strong>Thomas T K Zung<\/strong>, FAIA, Buckminster Fuller, Sadao &amp; Zung Architects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/message-p2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/message-p2.jpg 421w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/message-p2-248x300.jpg 248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"954\" height=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7.jpg 954w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7-300x1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7-150x2.jpg 150w, https:\/\/buckyconfluence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BWC-line7-768x2.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:62%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Message from <strong>Shirley Sharkey, <\/strong>Bucky\u2019s last Secretary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Bucky&#8217;s 125<sup>th<\/sup> Birthday, July 12, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had the privilege of being Buckminster Fuller&#8217;s Executive Secretary for the last 15 years of his life.&nbsp; One of the many joys of that position was the opportunity to get to know quite well many of his family, friends, and associates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prominent in my memory is his relationship with Lim Chong Keat.&nbsp; Their association was only from 1971, for they did not meet until Bucky was 76 years old, and Lim then 41.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though their homes were half the world away from each other, they managed to share an incredible amount of time together. These meetings were facilitated by Chong Keat&#8217;s ability to host Bucky repeatedly at various locations in Southeast Asia, as well as his ability to join him (and often me) at so many other locations on our beautiful Spaceship Earth.&nbsp; I know Bucky looked forward to the Campuan Conferences in Bali and Penang, which were attended by thinking luminaries, invited from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am grateful for Chong Keat&#8217;s incredible support of Bucky&#8217;s work. No adequate words convey how thankful I am to have had the pleasure of sharing in their 12-year friendship. After Bucky&#8217;s passing, Chong Keat&#8217;s continued hosting of the Campuan Conferences often annually on Bucky&#8217;s birthday is an affirmation of that steadfast friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new Buckyworld Confluence website is just one more example of Chong Keat&#8217;s continued support of Bucky&#8217;s work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please join me in a metaphorical glass to toast the launch of the website and to its continued success.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shirley M.

New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear Chong Keat,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you asking me to recall the event at my loft on April 15 1979, when you visited with friends and had also invited Alvin Toffler and Buckminster Fuller to meet.. Late that afternoon, after Toffler arrived with you and your musician friends, Max, the elevator-man, stopped on the sixth floor and an old gentleman in a brown jacket stepped out; it was.Buckminister Fuller! We had been mentioning Alvin Toffler\u2019s book \u201cFuture Shock&#8221; and also \u201cNew Wave\u201d, which became the conversation topic around&nbsp;the dining table, leading to discussing &#8220;Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking&#8221; and the book \u201cSynergetics Folio\u201d newly published by Bucky and yourself which you brought together with some T-shirts with &#8220;Four Quanta Phases\u201d printed on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evening was ignited with energy from other musician friends Lee Kum Sing, Loh Siew Tuan and Margaret Leng Tan; my good friend Janice was also present..I was amazed when Kum-Sing &nbsp;went to my upright piano and began pounding out Brahms\u2019s first Piano Concerto. As the sound made me flip out, I asked him \u201cHow can you play this beautiful opening with 10 keys missing on my piano?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bucky was 84 then, and it was not easy for him to hear, even though he had hearing aids.&nbsp;However he looked great, but had to be cautious with his salt-free diet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remembered that it was quite a memorable but hectic evening, with so much joy that I forgot to grab a camera for photos. My memories of 41 years ago still remain alive with Bucky\u2019s autograph in the copy of \u201cSynergetics Folio\u201d given to me, signed on&nbsp;April 15&nbsp;1979.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
