I was just looking at the LoftCube again and my friend Brian mentioned the Dymaxion House, a pre-fab house designed and built by Buckminster Fuller in 1946.

Buckminster Fuller designed his igloo-shaped Dymaxion House so it could be shipped to buyers in a can-shaped container.
   None of the parts weighed more than 10 pounds and the cost was about $6,500.

Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn is preparing to open an exhibit of the house designed to withstand tornadoes.

Like the Sharper Image, except cool. They have crazy gadgets like the puzzle clock, which won’t turn off until you put the puzzle pieces back together again, or these grass armchair things which are cardboard frames you can use to grow chairs out of the ground.
