¶ Dymaxion
Index Entry
Dymaxion: (Used as term for Vector Equilibrium.)
“Fuller once called this equilibrium-pattern figure the ‘Dymaxion.’ He later concluded that it was a gesture of conceit to apply ‘Dymaxion,’ a term that for him had become a kind of personal brand name, to a recognizable figure in non-vectorial [sic] geometry and sometimes listed in crystallographic geometry as the ‘cubo-octahedron.’ He then substituted the descriptive term based on the figure’s force properties.”
