What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Vanessa Brunner to Design Revolutionary: Buckminster Fuller at SFMOMA
Many of the items in the exhibition are part of a portfolio that Fuller put together late in life, containing 13 designs to be sent to art collectors. Since his death, many artists, architects and scientists have come to view this portfolio less as a collection of designs and more as a manifesto for a way of life. The portfolio, titled "Inventions: Twelve Around One," includes the 4D House, a hexagonal structure planned to be resource efficient and mass produced from factory-made kits. Like a prefab home, it was designed to be shipped anywhere for a low cost and quickly assembled onsite.
