It seems that Buckmaster-Fuller got involved in prefab housing for WWII as well, and these were the result.

It seems that Buckmaster-Fuller got involved in prefab housing for WWII as well, and these were the result. Like the Nissen and Quonset huts, they used corrugated sheets to advantage for strength. I can imagine several of these stacked in a pile for transport. They also look retro futuristic in their lines. I found an interesting variation at http://synchronofile.com/dymaxion-deployment-units-still-standing/ and it's similar to at least one version of he  Dymaxion House (see http://www.archdaily.com/401528/ad-classics-the-dymaxion-house-buckminster-fuller).
