But the Dymaxion home wasn't the
first crack that Buckminster Fuller took at the housing problem.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are bizarre housing concepts.
 Fuller's first
attempt in 1927 was this Dymaxion house that was based on silo
architecture. If a bit cramped, it at least had a high ceiling.
Aside from the tendency of
farmers to dump corn in it, Fuller could have been on to a winner
here. |

 The
4D Dymaxion Home, Fuller's second attempt in the 1930s, shows off the
central mast idea and is much more ambitious than either his
previous or later design.
Note the methane tank
buried in the basement to store gas generated by household waste.
That's taking composting to a whole new level. |
