R. Buckminster Fuller A Dymaxion Home, project Elevation, axonometric, and plan Architectural Drawing Drawing date: c. 1930 Project date: c. 1930

(model made later) Unbuilt Fuller's 1927-29 Dymaxion House project inspired his Wichita House, Wichita, Kansas, of 1945-46 (212.1978 and 213.1978). The Wichita House was the only Dymaxion-type house built. "R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House was inspired by a desire to create widely available low cost housing. Fuller believed that by adopting the efficient and cost-effective assembly-line production methods used for the automobile he could produce a home at the same price as a car. The unusual hexagonal-shaped house was clad with double-panel vacuum-glazed walls and was fully air-conditioned. Its central aluminum core housed all mechanical equipment and provided the support structure for the roof and floor. Fuller's goal, 'maximum gain of advantage from minimal energy input,' was never realized, but his concept introduced a radical new way of living to the general public. Despite numerous early orders, only one modified postwar version of the house was ever built." - Bevin Cline and Tina di Carlo in "The Changing of the Avant-Garde: Visionary Architectural Drawings from the Howard Gilman Collection" (New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2002).

Since the initial publication of the chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear is less than one-millionth of reality.

R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House was a marvel of modern technology that promised to create freedom by liberating the mind and curing all of society's problems… so why aren't you living in one right now?

If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do... HOW WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD I DO?

"Everything you've learned in school as 'obvious' becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines."

R. Buckminster Fuller, engineer, designer, and architect (12th July 1895-1983)

Hasta el siglo XX, la realidad era cuanto los humanos podían tocar, oler, ver y oír. Desde la publicación inicial de la tabla del espectro electromagnético, los humanos han aprendido que lo que pueden tocar, oler, ver y oír supone menos de una millonésima parte de la realidad. El 99 % de todo lo que va a afectar a nuestro mañana lo están desarrollando los humanos utilizando instrumentos y trabajando en rangos de la realidad que son imperceptibles para los sentidos humanos.

Sometimes I think we're alone. Sometimes I think we're not. In either case, the thought is quite staggering.

Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.

Ever since I stopped weed I've been having a lot of dreams and I even started a dream journal and I love it. (It's been a month and some days)

Yesterday I dreamt I was in a Masters in engineering ❤️🤞🏻class for designing and building geodesic domes and while sitting I remember thinking "Hope they talk about Buckminster Fuller"

I really love those domes tho, also architecture.

"I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an integral function of the universe." - Buckminster Fuller
