Study 7
I
chose this picture to represent a motif that I pick up on, that the building as
a whole is almost modeled after a UFO. Although there is no evidence that Lautner
took the inspiration from a UFO, it is interesting that the kitchen, dining and
living rooms all have pan-glass windows facing out towards the city much like
the front of a ship would, and the back is the living quarters. Relating to the
politics of the time, this was built around the same time that America sent a
man into space, and the interest was in that field was rising in this country.
It was common to see families drive up the valley in California to see the “flying
saucer house.”
