Dymaxion House

Outline
The Dymaxion habitation machine was developed in cooperation with the aircraft industry based on a concept that began in the 1920s amid a trend toward the peaceful use of the military industry. Aluminum and duralumin roofs and floors were suspended by wires from pillars in the center of the circular plan, and almost all of the components for one building were carried in cylinder containers designed for transportation by airplanes.
