Bringing Dome things to life.
In 1944, the United States suffered a serious housing shortage. Government officials knew that Fuller had developed a prototype single family dwelling which could be produced rapidly, using the same equipment which had previously built war-time airplanes. They could be "installed" anywhere, the way a telephone is installed, and with little additional difficulty. When one official flew to Wichita, Kansas to see this house, which Beech Aircraft and Fuller built, the man reportedly gasped, "My God! This is the house of the future!"

PARRISH - The Monolithic Dome house that the Monks have dreamed of for more than three years came a lot closer to reality Monday.
"The feeling is indescribable," Cliff Monk said. He and his wife, patsy (who lowercases her name), are proud to have the first house of its kind in Manatee County.

Moving Beyond the Box

Thomas Edward Lawrence wrote, "All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day [believing] that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."
