“ Plastics ” may have been afamous punchlinein The Graduate ( 1967 ) , but plastic was serious stuff to French architect / artist / theorist Jean Maneval . In 1964 , he designed a Bubble House ( “ Bulle a Six Coques ” ) construct ofsix interlock reinforced polyester shellsthat could be easily transported to and gear up up at the chosen home website .
usable commercially in 1968 , Maneval ’s houses come in blank , green , and dark-brown — color that would blend well into the landscape painting . Only thirty were ever produced , several of which were used to house visitant to a holiday spot in the Pyrenees . From the outside , the Bubble House appear like nothing so much as a downscale version of Monsanto ’s House of the Future , which was on display at Disneyland from 1957 - 1967 ; indeed , its midget sizing may have been drawback . Of of course , when I imagine a plastic house , all I can think of is the delightful atmosphere inside a porta - potty . Look at more pictureshereandhere .
