  • I WANT ONE!!!

  • great idea to save the house,

  • The whole thing is intended to just hang from that single central mast, swinging in the wind? Completely surrounded by a curtain of glass?  How is this supposed to be tornado-proof? I would be scared out of my wits if I was in that thing when a tornado came tearing across the prairie.

  • @karmatetra he was not an architect

  • Was this house designed to survive a nuclear war?

  • @chekchamon Looks to me that the footage is digitized and so probably cleaned up a bunch, that definitely is a young Buckminster Fuller. The quality of film is really more dependent on when where it was stored, different types of film, etc. and how each film type deteriorates over time. Also you are probably losing something of the old fashioned quality of it through it being re-recorded.

  • @chekchamon - u'r a crakpot !

  • HI!

  • This video is the real thing. It is a video recording made by capturing the image of an actual film projection camera. There were many reasonably high quality films created at the time (1930s).
