Fuller’s ambition of the Fly’s Eye Dome is his invention of an affordable and portable home of the future. The building has windows and openings for to be able to put in solar panels and a system of water collection. Fuller was keen to making his buildings be self sufficient in as many ways as possible. The idea came to life in 1965, however, he only was able to hand build three prototypes before his death in 1983. With this mere prototype inspired by a fly’s eye a 12 ft, 24ft, and 50ft prototype were built and now are owned by various people and companies.

I wish the Fly’s Eye Dome would have been able to go further into development because I believe it is a great self sufficient home design that would be helpful in the world live in today. In a growing world of increasing energy sufficiency Fuller’s architectural ideals would have been a great model for the future. Maybe even his dome style of creativity would have been adopted to a more modern style in this time.
