FUTURO: Tomorrow's Houses from Yesterday
This book is a natural follow-up to Mika Taanila’s film FUTURO- A NEW STANCE FOR TOMORROW, which traces the history of a forgotten milestone in Finnish design in a story packed with international colour and drama. The international space- age craze of the 1960s stirred interest among Finnish architects, but there was only one Finnish project that can be regarded as a bona fide sample of space-age architecture: the Futuro house designed by Matti Suuronen. Its design encapsulated the distinctive themes of 1960s utopian architecture: mobility, increased leisure time and new materials. This plastic ellipsoid, portable holiday hideaway represented something totally new in Finnish architecture. Even by international standards, it is among the most striking samples of utopian space-age design.
