What was the source of that quote from Buckminster Fuller? Not sure if I've come across it before. His writing style is so damn dense, it's hard to remember if I've read that or not.
That reference clearly refers to geodesic domes, as did one I sent you. Yet he supposedly also demontrated this in the Kansas Dymaxion home. The "World Game," by the way, was a group activity of his that he sponsored -- mainly on college campuses.

My hexagon structure under a light breeze pulled the smoke up the tube with a nice vacuum. Right out the top roof vent. Just like common sense would predict. I believe this one is busted. Common sense won out. This is not a problem. A Hexayurt or other similar structure needs a real central roof opening and fan/vent. Combined with low sidewall vents, it's game over. Vents need to be in *every* wall pretty much. I would only do 5 myself though, skip the door. Tipis and Yurts work the same way, they just roll up the side walls a bit. Field tested for thousands of years. http://www.youtube.com/user/RBEglobal Integrity Humility Compassion Asskicking Live it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
