Dr. Morbius' Home on Altair 4 - From the Movie Forbidden Planet

I really like sci-fi flicks and I've always wanted to live in a house that is like the neat places I see in the movies. Seeing that concept for a Mars dwelling reminded me of one of my favorite movies, Forbidden Planet. I really have a thing for Dr. Morbius' house in that film.




Now tell me you wouldn't want to live in a house like that! The depictions of modernist structures in fifties classics like this are pretty cool. It's too bad that the futurist dreams of generations past never really came true, not yet anyway. Instead of living in McMansions made of particle board we ought to all be living in places like this by now. We'll get there, someday.

Forgive me if I keep indulging my love of fifties sci-fi modernist architecture in future posts. The buildings in these old movies just have such a cool vibe to them.
