Futuristic House and dismountable to 1960 on display in the Netherlands
In 1968, the Finnish designer Matti Suuronen designed the Future House-a modular House, shaped like a flying saucer, capable of being assembled and disassembled in rough terrain. Now, the structure became an iconic piece landed on the futuristic Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.Suuronen chose a rounded design, not only for its strength but also through space, keeping the use of the materials at a minimum. The walls are made of glass fibre reinforced polyester with plastic, a new light material which makes the House easily transportable and well insulated.The Future House has three feet tall and eight feet in diameter. Has a capacity for 8 adults and includes living room, kitchen, bathroom, fireplace and chairs. With her, the tenants will have a mobile home that accompanies them to where they are.During the oil crisis in 1972, production of this housing was suspended, with plastic prices nearly triple their built-up land. Altogether about 100 copies were built â€" it is estimated that only half survived until today. One of them can be rented in Wisconsin, in the United States.After an extensive restoration project that lasted two years, the original prototype of Future House is being displayed for the first time in decades, in the Netherlands. It is the centrepiece of an exhibition called Future â€" Constructing Utopia which discusses the search for perfect construction form. According to Inhabitat, this is considered one of the best examples of perfect shape of the history of design.
