150 house a week 
Individualism comes from the interior

-1936 Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian House

He got rid of things he thought to be unnecessary from the common single family home, pitched roof/garage/radiators to make a $5000 house





Thinking about people and program of the future as a guide to material and production of the house. Passive/Futuristic/Radical abandoned 



-1932 American Houses inc. Motohomes
International Style homes that did not take off enough for me to get pictures.  Food in the kitchen was included in the delivery of the house.

Prototype for new building
Inspired by Le Corb
Light steel and Aluminium 


-1929 Buckminster Fuller Dymaxion house
experimenting with materials, steel framed houses less about extrusions 
efficiency in living
