Artist Profile: Buckminster Fuller Dymaxion Car, House and Geodesic Dome


  What I really enjoy or rather, caught my attention, was the geodesic dome. These domes were constructed to house many people and they're such simple and beautiful designs. The structure of it includes tetrahedrons with the combination of octahedrons and the dome is the only structure capable of standing on its own.
