What was it about the 70s and the need to design things that looked space age? A Finnish architect named Matti Suuronen designed a UFO shaped house. In the late 60s and 70s we all believed that technology would be able to solve all the world’s ills. I guess designers thought that meant making everything look futuristic and space like. Of course, today you would need a pretty good real estate agent to be able to sell your 70s looking abode!
