Technically this is part of the Modern Movement. It is a very common misconception for people to assume that The International Style, influenced by the Bauhaus school, is what Modernism is all about. The Modern Movement emcompasses much more than that ...The International Style is only a part of it. This 60s Modernism is particularly interesting because it does exploit new techniques in construction and has a new attitude to living ...this house absolutely embodies the attitude of the 1960s.
I was correct, it is Pierre Cardin's house. His, André Courrèges and Paco Rabanne's wonderful 'Space Age' clothes from the 1960s would be perfect for a woman to wear in this wonderful 'Space Age' house.
It is funny how this once Avant Garde house now looks slightly nostalgic -- it belongs to a more optimistic and imaginative era ...a time when science and 'The Future' seemed to promise a better world for everyone. It reminds me of Barbarella and 2001 A Space Odyssey.
