Buck Stops Here...
Looking like a flying saucer that could fly off at any minute, Buckminister Fuller's Dymaxion house was designed to be a modern, affordable and easily assembled mass produced home. After many redesigns and delays only two prototypes were built. One of them can be seen at the Henry Ford Museum.

Robotics...

"I need electricity- If you wanna make me flip- Hit me with a micro chip- I'll be a diode, cathode, electrode- Overload, generator, oscillator- Make a circuit with me..."
'Make a Circuit'- The Polecats
Where would the 'future' be without robots? Not the kind that explore far away planets, or diffuse bombs, but ones like Rosie from The Jetsons, C-3PO, Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still, or the robots gone bad in I Robot. The streamlined parts and geometric industrial shapes on robots like these help add style and intrigue to 'the future'- and inspire new mechanical creations like the one I did above.
Check out illustrator, and all around good guy, Danny Pelavin's robot page, which features robot art done by various illustrators. You can find one I did in the third row.
Some amazing mechanical men-and women made out of found objects can also be found on this cool robot site.
