The first of these installations is Konstantin Grcic's Netscape, which was commissioned for the design fair as part of his Designer of the Year award in 2010. The second, Buckminster Fuller’s 24-foot Fly’s Eye Dome, was featured at Design Miami/ 2011 as a satellite exhibition in collaboration with the Miami Design District.
Fly's Eye Dome, which was a prototype of Buckminster Fuller’s original design for a fully functional, air-deployable, off-the-grid temporary dwelling, was originally presented as a Design Miami/ satellite exhibition in the Miami Design District called Architecting the Future: Buckminster Fuller & Norman Foster. A long-time Fuller collector and enthusiast, Foster recreated Fuller’s futuristic Dymaxion Car and generously loaned Dymaxion 4 to be exhibited alongside the dome, which had been acquired and restored by Craig Robins. Buckminster Fuller was an artist, architect and evolutionary strategist.
