1. I wish I could have seen this exhibit. What happened to the Futurama model? Do parts of it still exist? I discovered Bel Geddes for myself when I was an architecture student in 1990. I found his book Horizons gathering dust in the university library. I think I learned more from that than all but one of my teachers.
2. ive got the same second name :)
3. A wonderful synopsis of a genius in design. Thank you!
