Norman Foster Unveils Dymaxion No. 4





Famed architect Norman Foster recently unveiled his latest work named Dymaxion No. 4.  The Dymaxion was first introduced by the great U.S. inventor Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller in the 1930's.

Bucky Fuller is best known for his work in designing the geodesic dome, but he also designed and built three working prototypes of the Dymaxion vehicle.  No. 1 caught on fire, No. 2 is now in a museum and No. 3 was scrapped.  Norman Foster, who worked with Fuller until he died, wanted to fulfill a dream of his by designing and building the Dymaxion No. 4.
