| SELECTED IDEAS OF BUCKMINSTER FULLER |
| ICOSAHEDRA |
| HOUSING: HIGH TECH DOME HOME |
 |
Fuller designed a portable, self-contained, spherical, geodesic dome home that captured renewable energy through wind turbines, solar panels, & methane generators fitted into various round openings. |
Compressed air stored in the framework would power most appliances. |
It would be earthquake resistant, could withstand winds of over 200 mph, & sell for about 10% the cost of conventional homes! |
