Growth by Subtraction

Growth by Subtraction is a grow-design strategy inspired by the pioneering work of Buckminster Fuller. According to the Buckminster Fuller Institute, Fuller's lifelong goal was the development of what he called "Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science"-the attempt to anticipate and solve humanity's major problems through the highest technology by providing "more and more life support for everybody, with less and less resources."

grow-design applies Growth by Subtraction in four ways-
Whole Systems Thinking - integrated meta level problem solving
Ephemeralization - lightweighting, dematerialization
Multi Functional - reduction of components through combination
Digital Solutions - optimizing opportunities through technology.
