bucky fuller & spaceship earth is the title of a new exhibition looking at the work of buckminster fuller being held at
ivorypress art + books in madrid. the show is running from september 1 to october 30 and is curated by norman foster
and luis fernández-galiano. the exhibition features drawings and models including the recently completed recreation
of the dymaxion car. foster worked with fuller for the last 12 years of his life and explains that fuller  ‘had a profound
influence on my own work and thinking’. the new dymaxion car was commissioned by foster based on fuller’s own
drawings and prototypes. the prototype was built in east sussex by the car restoration company crosthwaite & gardiner.

Hot damn, that Dymaxion is a cool SUV.

They should start producing them again - I'll have one!
Dr. Design   09.29.10
Producing them again? Only 3 were built, one was destroyed in an accident and one lost. It was a prototype but functional with a top measured speed of 90 mph. It was basically an aerodynamic minibus -- carried up to 11 passengers and was 20 feet long. Front-wheel drive with a single rear that steered like a rudder.
