Walls:

"In the 1927 Dymaxion House... the walls were shutterable membranes; there were no partitions or space dividers to say: You shall not pass. There were just natural barriers, like a kitchen or a tree....

"Opaque walls are difficult to let light through. There are four kinds of privacy: aural, tactile, visual, olfactory. Occulting-- cutting off the line of vision-- is better than opacity."
