Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House

"Conceived in the late 1920's but not actually built until 1945, the Dymaxion House was Fuller's solution to the need for a mass-produced, affordable, easily transportable and environmentally efficient house. The word "Dymaxion" was coined by combining parts of three of Bucky's favorite words: DY (dynamic), MAX (maximum), and ION (tension). The house used tension suspension from a central column or mast, sold for the price of a Cadillac, and could be shipped worldwide in its own metal tube." Via Tessellar>Blog

I want one of these. It's like a submarine and UFO together at last. And to park it outside a Dymaxion house?
