The trouble with modern materials and techniques is that they are expensive 
to develop.  Few of us have the reputation of Bucky Fuller.  I would like 
to see someone of that stature delve into the field again but housing is so 
dominated by single point suppliers and innovation stifling building codes 
that I suspect it will have to be someone more the stature the builders in 
the "Home Work" book.  A perfect task for a homesteader in a no building 
code area.
