One of the middle schools in the area I grew up looked like a prison... because it actually used to be a prison.

Baronjutter posted:I want a kitchen that's an entirely solid cast of steel with no corners or joints. Can't find anything about the kitchen, but the Dymaxion house bathroom sounds right up your alley: quote:The bathroom consisted of two connected stamped copper bubbles, built as four nesting pieces. The bottom piece is fully plated in tin/antimony alloy and the top half is painted. Each bubble had a drain. No area had a radius of less than four inches (10 cm), to aid cleaning.

it's sounds like its effectively pewter-lined (mostly tin w/ some antimony for additional hardness n wear resistance), which is an odd and expensive liner choice for a bathing area but is basically totally fine otherwise. id guess its a reflection of the bathroom design- copper was chosen because its extremely ductile, enabling easy deep die forming, and extremely corrosion-resistant compared to all alternative ductile metal options. tinning and copper play together extremely well and wont suffer from galvanic corrosion to nearly the same degree that nearly all other bimetal combinations n platings will because their electropotentials are fairly similar. also the copper shells could be hot-dip tinned, which is much much faster and cheaper than typical electroplating and gives a much thicker and more durable layer of tin than would be feasible w/ other plating methods its actually a p smart design, emphasizing corrosion resistance and longevity in a metal enviroment thats gonna be damp all the time is sound, except that all the base materials are "kind of really expensive" to work with on a large scale like that

Remember that Buckminster Fuller designed all the Dymaxion stuff in the early 1930s, so tin-plated copper may have just been the best option at the time. Plenty of materials have been developed in the last 80 years that would be more suitable.

But not all angles are corners. A corner is a specific kind of angle.
