.... we've created a new way to learn about geometry. Our main 'tool' is a hands-on color coded modeling system. Take them apart, put them back together, learn along the way. This is our project blog. Check out our about us or see more by clicking the square avatars of our host sites below. Got an icebreaker? Reach out with tumblrs' ask function. Or shoot us an email at newtoolslab@gmail.com. Cheers!

How do I love thee, let me count the ways.
I consider our project as a continuation of Amy Edmonsons’ work in ‘A Fuller Explanation’. Ironic considering it wasn’t ever part of Tom’s self education. But for both Tim and I this was a central informative text. When I started 5 years ago with all this, it was only available online, which was hugely valuable, it still is (click through). Fortunately it’s also been republished so you can study it in hand, nothin like a real book! @ amazon. -gf

This is our contributor Tim Havranek’s book on environmental remediation published in 1998.  Just perusing the positive amazon comments written about it and got excited about his work. With any luck we’ll have some links to his essays up here soon! Tim’s had some real success incorporating synergetic geometry in to his practice as an environmental remediation professional and has a wonderful way of communicating the practical use of many of Buckminster Fuller’s ideas.
