USS - a portfolio of probabilities _11 Sometimes students are good for a big surprise - as in this case. Having read one of my shorter posts (actually this one: www.hs-augsburg.de/~mstoll/?p=411 ) on a website about retro-futurism, Dennis Bille one day came around with a quite large set of folders and unpacked these wonderfull illustrations. Obviously they once were give-a-ways from "United States Steel International" to show, how the future might look like - from a early 60s perspective. Dennis Bille got these folders from a retired designer as a gift for helping to close down his office. what a symbolic story!

Syd Meads work! THANK YOU! 
auridicyl says:@jamesatkent: Funny you should mention
Disney. That central structure (dare I call
it a building?) reminds me not only of Space
Mountain (the bottom half), but I'm pretty
sure I saw a replication of the entire thing
elsewhere on property (probably somewhere in
Epcot).

naive -they cater to my estetic senses! =)

I love this one, if for nothing other than the hubris that natural beauty can always stand a little improvement. Yes, it's gorgeous, but it was already. Love that Syd Mead!
