American inventor Buckminster - Fuller's latest design, a both light weight and strength of the geodesic dome housing Museum of Modern Art in New York. (L $ dj��.c��m)
this dome housing includes a framework constituted by the tubes, a frame covered with a lightweight anti-weather plastic film. Living area with cable hanging on the frame. This model exhibited in the Exhibition Hall on behalf of a 80-foot dome, Fuller said the span of 800 feet dome is also very easy to construct.
Fuller said to constitute a framework of aluminum tubes, arranged in the form of a triangle, provides an unprecedented degree of strength and lightness. Fuller stresses: Rome's St. Peter's dome spans 138 feet, weighs 10,000 tons; while most short-term dome 800 feet in diameter, weighing only 1,000 tons. This dome can be created anywhere, and can be demolished in a few days time, and re-used in another place. Once the plant equipment up and put into mass production, the dome can be very low cost manufacturing. The recently built near Montreal, a 49 feet span of the geodesic dome only 45 hours of labor. The entire framework can be placed in the hull of a ship, while the workers only with hand tools.
