- A sectional elevation of a small, one-room garden pavilion with a dome and shallow portico. The two columns of the portico support an arch and a coffered barrel vault. On the interior the facing wall is decorated with ornate pilasters and panels set on either side of a central niche housing a sculpted figure (Mars or Minerva) above a couch, or seat.

Series
AP115.S1
Description:
Cette série porte sur le travail de documentation photographique de Robert Duchesnay d'un des exemples construit du Dymaxion Dwelling Machine, à Wichita, Kansas, aux États-Unis. Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine, concept conçu par Buckminster Fuller et considéré comme le précurseur du dôme géodésique, visait a créer un mode d'habitation donnant un maximun d'espace pour un minimum de coût et de matériaux. L'exemple du Wichita House est conçu par Fuller en 1945-1946. "L'apparence de cette machine à habiter ressemble quelque peu à une soucoupe volante. Avec sa peau externe en aluminium et ses fenêtres en plexiglass, elle offre un surface élégante et profilée, tout en renferman un espace au sol de 1100 pieds carrées." [1] Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine est abandonné en 1970, pour être finalement acquise en 1990 par le Henry Ford Museum à Detroit, au Michigan. La structure est démantelé la même année avec l'aide d'un ancien collaborateur de Buckminster Fuller, Jay Baldwin. Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine est toujours visible au Ford Museum. La série contient des photographies de la Wichita House avant et durant le démantèlement, brochures et feuillets du Wichita Art Museum présentant l'exposition de Robert Duchesnay sur le bâtiment, correspondance reçue par Duchesnay sur son projet de documentation des dômes géodésiques de Buckminster Fuller, et coupures de presse sur le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine et le démantèlement de la Wichita House.
