I always loved The Jetsons. How could you not, with all its bright colours and all its cool retro 60's swingers pad like architecture? You just don't get better than that. I like modern design, minimalism. Negative space. I like all of that. But. I would love to live in a space like something from The Jetsons. Everything is just so vivid.
Its super retro, but in a kitsch futurist kind of way, its playful, and very design friendly (did he just say that? What does he really mean?) Plus, all the awesome colours, I just wont be able to say no. I would choose that style of architecture and design over our modern day version of design in a heartbeat. It just speaks directly to my design senses and creative subconscious.
I always knew that the ideas behind The Jetsons were way before their time. Like any good science fiction. These people (the creators) somehow have the ability to foresee some parts of the future (of design) and they put that into their work and it doesn't seem weird at all, until you really think about it. I mean, the show was made in 1962. Dude. 1962 is like way back then, thats like almost 50 years ago. So just think about that for a second. And watch an episode of The Jetsons, but like really take note this time, and be prepared to be mind fucked. Below is some information I came across while channel surfing the internet like I was looking for something cool to watch on DStv.
What better epitomizes the visionary futuristic utopia of the 20th century than the Jetsons? Created in 1962 the primetime animated sitcom took place in 2062 looking 100 years into the future (cool right?). Besides the futuristic gadgets and gizmos, surely ahead of their time, the architectural influence is clearly that of Googie design. Including 'upswept roofs, curvaceous, geometric shapes, and bold use of glass, steel and neon, Googie was also characterized by space age designs that depict motion, such as boomerangs, flying saucers, atoms and parabolas, and free-form designs such as soft parallelograms and the ubiquitous artist’s palette motif.'
Envisioning tomorrow is of course an attempt to predict the future. Technology is still a heavy influencer on the architectural form. Many architects have looked to the forms of ships, airplanes and other mechanics of industry for inspiration. To be modern still means a 'promise of the future.' The term 'thats so Jetsons' has become part of our current cultural language. But when these visions of the future become a reality, and have come and gone, it seems that our current environment is still unchanged.
