Quonset Huts Yesterday and Today -- Book and Exhibition

This one is for GP - Prefab Quonset huts -- which Buckminster Fuller helped design -- were a staple of WWII logistics, a city for any climate that you could erect in a day. After the war, surplus Quonsets became ubiquitous in American architecture, being converted to houses, churches, and places of work. The Anchorage, Alaska Museum of History and Art is staging an exhibition of Quonsets past and present and has released a book to commemorate it.
