What’s more, the space race began a decade later when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I. Utilizing new materials like laminates and aluminum, and motifs such as starbursts, the 1950s and 60s are characterized by an aesthetic that literally and figuratively reached for the moon. Architecture had dreamed outside the box for most of the 20th century, but the decades after the war gave new leeway. Designs like Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Key Plan for Ellis Island” (1959), Buckminster Fuller’s “Dome Over Manhattan” (1960) and Eliot Noyes’s plan for the Westinghouse Pavilion of the 1964 New York World’s Fair joined the ranks of nearly improbable (some being fully impossible) designs, such as the completion of skyscrapers. This idea of pushing toward impossible can seem almost quaint today. The mind-blowing TV affects that allowed Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise to do futuristic tasks, like walk through a closed door that pulled open on its own, press a single button to see a cup of coffee materialize, or conjure information on a flat digital panel on demand and control it with both touch and speech, loses its punch when we realize that most three-year-olds today are able to unlock a tablet and pull up their favorite YouTube video faster than Kirk ever could. But in many ways, I think the general public has lost this sense of wonder for the future. In America, we’re hearing people demand things go back to the “good ol’ days”—but what made said “good ol’ days” (usually thought of as the post-war period) magnificent was the sense of wonder and excitement for trying something new.
