Where in the World is Sci-Fi Architecture?
This architectural wonder, or disaster if you will, is a 1963 Charles Deaton design titled “The Sculptured House” which sits high above I-70 on Genesse Mountain as you ascend into the Rockies just beyond Denver. As I live in this marvelous area, I have always made it a point to look out my window and gaze at the oddly mushroom shaped house while driving by. It is a living piece of cinematic history, most famous for playing a futuristic home in Woody Allen’s 1973 techno-comedy “Sleeper”. It is one of the many futuristic, bizzar, and archaic architectural wonders used as large props throughout the course of film history on Object.com’s “15 scifi movies 15 famous architectural locations”.
The list is amazing and shows the amazing creativity of our current and past architects and city planners. In the name of industry, housing, and science, they have produced some amazingly eerie structures, that look far better on in a sci-fi movie than a Hollywood Produced set. Take for instance the news today that an abandoned factory in Bethlehem PA will be the setting of some sort of Chinese industrial battle in “Transformers 2″.
