Proposal for a space age house

.

This space-age house is inspired from images of 1950s futurism and from architect Buckminster Fuller’s proposal for the ideal, modern home, the Dymaxion House. This circular model made of paper is three floors tall and fifteen inches in diameter (38cm). The house features large, porthole windows to evoke the large glass expanses of modern skyscrapers. The house is painted silver, circular, and domed to evoke the streamlined images of 1950s American cars.
