1. I bow down to this women

When we were in Detroit at the Henry Ford Museum, I forgot to mention that earlier, there was, well not exactly a prototype, but a example of genius self sufficient dymaxion home. You have to wonder what would have happened if the designer had gotten funding.

These are beautiful photos thanks discntnt!

If you scroll Down the home page you'll see the word Cool in a red caption. He updates it once or twice a week. There's always some cool stuff linked there.

13. Where is this located?

Is it the top item on her CV list?

Is it in the same place in Arizona where another one is? It's about an hour or so north of Phoenix. I've been to that one, & while cool to visit, is much more rudimentary than this design. Also, the green grass is throwing me off.

20. I just checked in again on this thread

and had almost forgotten about it.

From googling, I think she may be married now, & goes by another last name? Not sure.

It is affiliated with the University of Arizona. It's called Biosphere 2, & is about 10 miles north of Tucson.

It's a pretty cool place.

...one of the other project leaders/founders.

C.V. stops in 1997?

Amazing accomplishments! Wow!

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

16. I can't find anything

[BlancheSplanchnik]

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

18. Or maybe...

...retired and living a dream.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

Though her disappearance, for whatever reason, is a real loss for the world.
