Star Trek & 1960s Design, 14: "Let Us Create the Future Together" (Bauhaus to Cardin)

(Of course 1960s modern design has roots in the past, such as the German Bauhaus, as well as branching toward the future.)

"Let us desire, conceive, and create the new building of the future together. It will combine architecture, sculpture, and painting in a single form, and will one day rise towards the heavens from the hands of a million workers as the crystalline symbol of a new and coming faith."

--Bauhaus Manifesto, by Walter Gropius, 1919
