Dymaxion House Installation at the Henry Ford


From Wikipedia:

The Dymaxion House was developed by inventor Buckminster Fuller to address several failures he perceived with existing homebuilding techniques. Fuller designed several different versions of the house at different times, but they were factory manufactured kits, assembled on site, intended to be suitable for any site or environment and to use resources efficiently. One important design consideration was ease of shipment and assembly.

This house has been reassembled inside of the Henry Ford Museum and it is fascinating. Check it out in person if you get a chance, or see it on the museum's website.
