I loved those costumes!
When I was a kid I wanted to visit Epcot so badly. Never got there, it just seemed like another planet to a kid growing up in Ireland.
before rainbow imagery gave conservatives conniptions...
Who builds geodesic domes these days? The geodesic dome's inventor, Buckminster Fuller, still has a cult following. But that doesn't make much sense because his inventions haven't really worked well.
Mark Plus: have you seen the Eden project in England?
73 man asks,
have you seen the Eden project in England?
No. Judging from the website, it reminds me of the Climatron (a paleo-future neologism, if I've ever see one!) in St. Louis, which I have seen.
In other contexts, geodesic domes just look increasingly dated.
BTW, I live about ten miles from Arcosanti, another moribund architectural experiment from the paleo-future era.
For someone into radical rethinking & 'arcology', Arcosanti's founder has an astoundingly mediocre apartment.
Plastic lawn chairs?
And the bell foundry. How very 60s to believe you can support a community by making bells which, no doubt, were symbolic of man's need to wake up.
I knew it! I know where the Teletubbies creator got the idea of putting creepiness on children show.
