Jacque Fresco is considered by many to be a modern-day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as a "generalist" or multi-disciplinarian - a student of many inter-related fields. He is a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (he is now 93 years old) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales that entail the use of innovative technology. As a futurist, Jacque is not only a conceptualist and a theoretician, he is also an engineer and a designer. His organization, The Venus Project (named after the town he lives in, Venus, Florida), works to provide a global vision of hope for the future of humankind in our technological age.
Presented by the Industrial Design & Interior Design division
