Future Perfect

It would take a edgy bride to wear this Gautier  wedding dress, from his recent couture show in Paris, on her big day.  I think it is fabulous.  This week we are going to take inspiration from this amazing dress to look at futuristic design, art and architecture.  We will look inside some of the modern buildings in this city that are looking forward and embracing this brave new world.

Her wedding music?

Carried across the threshold?

This house  is called the Futuro and was designed by Finnish architect  Matt Suuronen in 1968.  It is constructed completely of fibreglass and was conceived as a holiday home or ski chalet.  I am fascinated by the concept of prefab or mass produced homes that can manufactured cheaply and shipped anywhere.  This one is light enough to be airlifted by helicopter.  Sadly only 96 were ever built but they are found all over the world with 20 of them recently  discovered in Taiwan.
