4D Tower

In 1927 before fuller was into designing his geodesic domes, he devised what he called his “4D tower”.  This tower was to be the centerpiece of his master plan to use the planet and its resources as efficient as possible. This design was made to be twelve-story building that was constructed around a central mast. He claimed that his building design was fireproof and largely self-sufficient. Other key feature of the design was that it was aerodynamic and as light as a single family house. The costs of operating the building would only be a tenth and could be constructed within a day. Each unit in the building would come already equipped with all the conveniences of modern living with everything from telephones to typewriters already installed. In theory the construction required a zeppelin air ship to drop actual bombs on a location and create a crater where later these buildings would be literally planted like trees.
