page025from Building Ideasacknowledged by most architectural criticsas a classic example of the New Architecture that modernists strove to achieve.The Dymaxion, however, with its circular drum of living space suspended from acentral Duralumin mast housing all the mechanical services was, to Banham, thetrue realization of Le Corbusier’s notion of the “mass-production house”. Itwas, for him, a pioneering example of the kind of pure “technology transfer” aswell as the “served and servant spaces” arrangement that were to become basicprinciples of the developing high-tech tradition. Like the later geodesic domeprojects which simplified the form of the Dymaxion house into a keletalsheltering roof structure made of repeated modular components, Fuller’s ideaswere presented as the inevitable outcome of t... more ...

In Banham’s best-known book called Theory and Design in the FirstMachine Age (1960) he compared Fuller’s innovations in the Dymaxion Houseproje

As a tireless innovator of newmaterials and technologies Fuller had become famous for a series ofmass-production prototypes such as the “Dymaxi
