Facsimile (Dymaxion Car)

Dymaxion Car
Facsimile (model + poster
I attempted to design a poster that reflected the forward thinking of Buckminster Fuller, coupled with the ease in which the Dymaxion Car could make a u-turn. Upon printing the poster/ instructions i then folded up all three sheets into the poster. The final kit seems to reach my desired goals in making a facsimile. The object seems Aerodynamic and conceptual. It requires users to interact with in-order to literally “build” the model of the car. Currently there is no paper “skin” to apply over the balsa wood. Also the kit could be redesigned in order to more successfully demonstrate the attribute of the original concept car. The instructions function more as a conceptual poster, which does reflect forward movement and thinking. It contains both a quote from the original inventor and loose instruction for assembly of the kit.
