During the '40's and '50's the Modernist Movement in architecture produced many stunning and elegant homes, apartments, commercial and public buildings. Like many of my generation I felt that this vision of the future was THE vision of the future. The works of Richard Neutra and ... ... and others of the Modernist Movement made deep impressions on the imagination of our generation. Movies and graphic arts still relie on this school of architecture to invision the "Future." Remember Dr. Mobius's home in "Forbidden Planet"? StarFleet HQ? the set designs in "The Shape Of Things To Come"? the comic book art of Carmine Infantino? or, in a humorous vein: the Jetson's home?
This influence can been seen in all the versions of my House project and is now delibertly emphasized in this series.
