Though never fully realized in his lifetime, Fuller created three prototypes -- a 12, 24 and 50 foot dome. A historic restoration of the 24 foot dome was recently completed in Bristol, RI.<br /> <br /> Also on display is Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion car. This 'omni-directional transport system' (patent 1937) was intended to fly, jump-jet style, when suitable alloys and engines became available. Three cars were produced in Fuller's lifetime. Renowned contemporary architect Lord Norman Foster recently reconstructed Fuller's Dymaxion Car in England -- Dymaxion 4.<br /> <br /> The 24 foot dome is a part of the Craig Robins Collection. It will be installed in a pedestrian plaza currently being developed in the heart of the Miami Design District.<br /> <br /> Architecting the Future: Buckminster Fuller &amp; Lord Norman Foster. Design District, Miami. Press reception, November 28, 2011.
