Bucky’s Car and Dome [People]

Our old hero, futurist, architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller is the subject of an exhibition that starts in Madrid in two weeks.

Pictured listed here are prototypes of his Dymaxion car, which was alleged to be an all-terrain transport to head at the side of the live-anywhere prefab houses he envisioned. The geodesic dome was purported to protect us from extreme weather and germs, and would pay for itself in 10 years if used to cover someplace like NYC by eliminating the desire for snow removal.

If you’re interested by Bucky, here’s a post we’ve done on his life. In the event you live in Madrid, you’re lucky enough to be near the imminent exhibition profiling his work. [events, BFI via Archdose]
