Flying Saucer: A Finnish Architect's House-Themed Fantasy
Futuristic structures resembling flying saucers were created by Finnish designer Matti Suuronen in the late 1960s. The fancy houses were then sent all over the world.
The design of such an oval-shaped house was installed on legs-stands. Plastic was used as the body material, which made it possible to quickly transport and assemble the finished house. In Finnish factories, such "plates" were produced in whole sets.
It took only a few days to install such a design. Therefore, the authorities of many states saw this as the future of budget housing. After all, the owner of the land could simply order a house for himself at the factory, and then assemble it on his own.
"Flying saucers" were purchased by Japan, Australia, Norway and even the USSR. Many of them stand in their places even today - in Gurzuf, Krasnodar. There are cafes and entertainment centers.
The futuristic design has often attracted aspiring and established designers alike. Finn Matti Suuronen was one of them. Against the background of mass interest in extraterrestrial civilizations and their technologies, quite a lot of architectural objects were developed. These were houses, restaurants, playgrounds and simply sculptural compositions.
Previously, such design innovations could only be read in specialized literature or books about science fiction. You can also find a work, scientific article or note on OXO website in the appropriate section. It remains to either use the search, or scroll through the resource feed.
