i know there is at least one family in finland living in the futuro.. they only made bout 50 of those. about half of them exist nowadays but i guess they are somewhere on display. the futuro was designed to be housing for the next generation, but it failed.. i'd love to have one :) |

how did it fail? no funding? didnt catch on? it should have... they look wonderful. a bit tiny, perhaps, but a great first step towards something very cool. |

I think we read about that in Design Technology class at A level. I like the idea of something like that, perhaps if they were a little bigger the would of taken off. |

yeah, it would have to be constantly innovated upon, like cars are every year. the technology you could apply to such an idea is well worth endevoring upon, imho. |

Something that has interested me since I was a child is the idea of a modular house. You buy a plot of land with a supply point (water, electricty and gas) which plug into your inital pod- a bit like the futuro house. Some panels could be removed to put stairwells/corridors in and you could add modules. As you get wealthier there is no need to buy another house, simply buy a new module for it. You could even get tailored modules like a pool or walk in wardrobe etc. If it was adopted widely the notion of plannign permision could be done away with- you would just have simple rules, in this area no more than 3 pods high, 3 wide and 3 long etc. |

No I'm not an architect, but I do have a designer's streak in me. I helped design a system for this famous . We won an award of innovation for it, but it wasn't implemented as the construction company were already well over budget (thanks Cardiff rugby club- your petty stalling tactics cost Laing construction which ultimately resulted in me going on an IT degree rather than a sponsered Product Design one. You bastards :P) Still we have the original prototype scale model of the stadium at a mates house and we're going to sell it as welsh rugby memmorbila on ebay in a few years time. BTW some of my mates actually did get their roof opening mechanism implemented. The gits. |

I've seen this house IRL: It's actually slowly sliding toward it's demise year after year down the side of this mountain... pretty cool looking house, though; It was used in the Woody Allen movie "Sleepwalker", and parodied in the "Mecha Streisand" South Park episode. |
