In March 1943, Life Magazine published a photographic essay titled "Life Presents R. Fuller's design for the house envisioned a sustainable, mass-produced structure supported by a central column.įuller invented the three-wheeled Dymaxion Car, the Geodesic Dome, and a new map projection the Dymaxion Airocean World" map, based on an a 20-sided polygon- an icosahedron. He went on to invent the "4D house" later branded the "Dymaxion House", a combination of the words "dynamic," "maximum," and "tension". Navy and a method of producing reinforced concrete buildings.
