I heard that some students wanted to build a dome as a class project, but
couldn't get permission from the almighty county planning agency because the
proposed structure wouldn't have studs every sixteen inches.
In "Grunch of Giants" (and probably elsewhere, I suppose), Fuller tells of
the barriers he met with the Dymaxion House. Zoning officials wouldn't
allow it to be installed unless union plumbers and electricians were hired
to rip out all the pipes and wires and put them back in. This, of course,
made the world safe for tradition. Fuller concluded that capitalism has got
to go. *sigh* If that's capitalism, I'm Ross Perot....
