Dymaxion

Dymaxion House as installed in Henry Ford Museum

Dymaxion is a term coined by architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller and associated with much of his work—prominently his Dymaxion house and Dymaxion car. Dymaxion, a portmanteau of the words dynamic, maximum, and tension;[1] sums up the goal of his study, "maximum gain of advantage from minimal energy input."[2]
