In- The house purposefully had windows for outsiders to catch a glimpse of what was going on inside of the HOF. I think the idea behind this was to start futuristic trends. These views illustrated how futuristic couples treat and react to each other, their clothing style, and even displayed the latest technologies like a telephone loudspeaker and the answering machine. These views gave the outside world insight to what the future had to hold.
Out- The views from inside the house outwards seem to be non-existent, or just ignored. I feel that the point of the house is to escape from the current world therefore views to the outside were not desired.
Up- The view of the sky is important in the HOF. “The primary role of the house is to filter out the world and produce a quasi-theological encounter with an empty sky, a sky made private by the house.” This private sky contains “unbreathed air” which would be important for people who have exiled themselves from the world. This private sky also describes the house as a “hole”, an empty space while “the rest of the design was just a means of fixing that emptiness.”
Broadcast- The broadcasted view of the HOF was obviously taken from an outsiders view and therefore the ideas perceived are similar to those of the inward view of the house. In the Daily Mail the HOF was described as a “Wonderland.” The public laughed at the futuristic outfits of the inhabitants dressed in tights and mini skirts. It seems as if the overall public view of the HOF was that it was intriguing yet somewhat unbelievable and laughable.
