Living in a Plastic Box: Monsanto's Dream at Disneyland (USA) 1962

Описание: Welcome to Synapse Daily! 🎙️ In today’s episode, we travel back to 1962 to explore one of the most ambitious architectural experiments in history: The Monsanto House of the Future at Disneyland.

Imagine a world where your walls are made of fiberglass, your kitchen uses sound waves to clean dishes, and your entire home is cantilevered in the air. This wasn't science fiction—it was a real, walkable attraction that hosted over 20 million people.

In this episode, we discuss: ✅ The MIT genius behind the plastic architecture. ✅ Why the house featured technologies we only just started using today (like microwaves!). ✅ The legendary "Great Demolition" of 1967 where the house fought back against wrecking balls. ✅ The scientific and psychological reasons why plastic homes never became the global standard.

Whether you're a history buff, an architecture student, or a Disney fan, this deep dive reveals how the 1960s envisioned our lives today.
