Bucky Fuller's Dymaxion House

Once you pick up your newly built Dymaxion Car, you will need somewhere to park it.  Fortunately, The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan has a display of the last remaining 1945 prototype of Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House, so you can start planning your new vehicle's matching abode.  Old Bucky had some truly radical (or perhaps "radial"?) designs.
