12-15 Yrs Later Update: The Pneumatic Nomadic Campus

An original student/resident/employee of The Antioch Bubble emailed to share his account of the 32,000 square-foot inflatable college campus set up in Columbia, MD in 1972: "Climbing along the main roof cables was a lot of fun. The building rocked up and down in the slightest breeze.  We did a lot of climbing because the thin skin required constant patching.  You sat of an inflatable mattress to make  repairs… quite high above the ground, but you didn't notice unless you were over the clear skin sections.  If you fell through it would likely kill you. Nobody fell…not for lack of trying."

Spy x Family and famous furniture, Volumes 1-3.

All the covers of the Spy x Family manga feature rather famous mid-century furniture.

Volume one: LC2 Chair by Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier was a very famous Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner and writer, who was one of the pioneers of what is now regarded as modern architecture.

If you have even a passing interest in architecture, you've probably seen Villa Savoye, which he designed.

Volume two: Marshmallow Sofa by George Nelson

George Nelson was an American industrial designer. He was the lead designer for the Herman Miller furniture company, which is largely responsible for the typical image most people have of 50s America furniture.

Volume three: "Eames La Chaise" by Charles and Ray Eames

Charles Eames and Ray Eames were an American married couple of industrial designers who formed the Eames Office, which also worked with Herman Miller furniture company. They also worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art, and film.

Their most famous creation is probably their Lounge chair and ottoman:

It’s always so interesting to see what people in the past predicted for the future, and also how they lived then
