Darwin Bucky
Bucky is a parametric dome tent anchored to the ground which is inspired from geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller. The tanks are made of 1mm thick laser cut bent metal sheets and bolted together to create an isolated space without columns. Multiple blocks of Bucky can also be linked to create a Bucky cluster. It can be assembled or disassembled in few days for storage and can be transported via shipping container. Bucky was envisioned to be easy to carry around the globe. Bucky is a light weight structure. Its a flat pack structure which is made up of metal that makes it water tight.
