.." In 1965 Buckminster Fuller designed and patented the Fly’s Eye Dome,
which he called an “autonomous dwelling machine”.
...The Buckminster Fuller Institute, in partnership with Goetz
Composites, ConformLab, and DRDesign, began the development of a program
to complete Fuller’s vision, using advanced technologies and materials
not available to Fuller in the 1970s.
...BFI was then commissioned to
produce a Fly’s Eye Dome utilizing state-of-the-art materials,
intelligence, and techniques, to be prominently incorporated in the
Miami Design District. "...
