Richard Buckminster Fuller<\/strong>‘s visionary “Fly’s Eye Dome”\u2014which he designed and patented in 1965\u2014was installed in the Miami Design District for this year’s Design Miami.<\/a>\u00a0A model of the futuristic structure\u00a0was placed in front of Sou Fujimoto\u2019s Palm Court shopping center, on top of a shallow body\u00a0of water.<\/p>\n

\"Fly's<\/a><\/p>\n

Fuller saw his “Fly’s Eye Dome” as a prototype for low-cost portable housing of the future, referring to it as an \u00a0“autonomous dwelling machine.” \u00a0He\u00a0designed it\u00a0to have the ability to\u00a0house solar panels and water collection systems, rendering it\u00a0a completely self sufficient residence.<\/p>\n

Before his death in 1983, Fuller had produced three of the ultramodern\u00a0structures\u2014white fiberglass partial-spheres framing bubble-like transparent domed windows\u2014in different sizes.<\/p>\n

Miami Design District<\/strong> creator Craig Robins<\/strong> acquired one of the three domes, measuring just over seven meters in diameter, in 2011. Then, shortly after, the Buckminster Fuller Institute <\/a>commissioned a team of 3D-design experts\u00a0to recreate the structure utilizing\u00a0modern-day materials and technology, which had not been available to Fuller during his lifetime.<\/p>\n

DRDesign, Conform Labs <\/strong>and Goetz Composites<\/strong>\u00a0were able to build a 3D parametric model from the original parts, using a five-axis CNC machine to produce a series of engineered components. The new version features a joining system that makes the structure watertight and allows for\u00a0passive ventilation.<\/p>\n

The largest of the three domes\u201415 meters-wide\u2014is currently touring festivals and design manifestations, and the smallest one is owned by British architect,\u00a0Norman Foster<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Foster discusses the significance of the Fly’s Eye Dome in a movie filmed at the 2011 exhibition “Architecting the Future: Buckminster Fuller & Lord Norman Foster,” in which his work is compared to that of Fuller.<\/p>\n
