Hiya folks! Thanks for logging in!
Continuing on the house of the future topic, a dude named Bucky Fuller envisioned a long time ago that we'd all be living in manufactured housing.

I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to think that all that shiny metal would give me a headache.
And then there's Disneyland's version of future housing. Go here and read this:

For blog credit this week, tell me which of these style houses you'd rather have and why.

Monsanto House of the Future
I would rather have the Monsanto house, because it just looks way better than the other one. And this one is less shiny. I also like this one because it is elevated from the ground .
-Michael 1st period
I would rather have the Monsanto House of the Future. I like the futuristic appliances, like the Magic Mirror, that are in it; plus it's surrounded by a cool view of nature and its elements. I'm not to crazy about the plastic furniture but I could work around it.
Amanda-1st
WELL I WOULD CHOOSE THE MONSANTO HOUSE, BECAUSE ITS TOUCHSCREEN TECHNOLOGY AND THE ELEVATION OFF OF THE GROUND IS COOL. THE OTHER HOUSE IS IN THE SHAPE OF SOME TYPE OF CYLINDER, I WOULD GET DIZZY WALKING AROUND IN CIRCLES ALL DAY. TUTT-1st
Okay I really like where people are going with these house ideas but I won't believe that there is one built until I see it. To tell you the truth, the second house looks a whole lot cooler but the first house looks more roomy, if you know what I mean. In my mind the 2 cancel out, but I would rather live in the 1st house because it has more room and it is a little more sturdy. The only thing I dont like about the house is that the walls are see through and I dont know about you but I dont want people watching what Im doing all the time. On the other hand the see through walls are probably for display anyway so. I will live in the 1st house.

If I had to live in one of these houses, I would prefer to live in the Monsanto House that was at Disneyland. Even if the metal house can withstand tornadoes and earthquakes, it just doesn't look secure. Also, domes make me extremely claustrophobic. It seems to me that if you need the house at Disneyland to be bigger, the design could be modified to add another floor with its own four wings. However, you can't really make the dome house any bigger, so it would only work if you have a small family and will never need more than two bedrooms.
-Tobin, 1st
I chose the Dymaxation house because it looked like a space ship and it looks shiny and I like shiny things
Nhi #1
I would choose Disneyland’s version, (Monsanto House of the Future) because I love the magic mirror, the dome for outside living, and the background mountain is beautiful
-Takarya Taylor 1st
Of the two I would perfer the disneyland house because to nme it has a more attractive look and more spacious feel...
Plus I like Disney more...
Ale Diaz 4th Period
I'm gonna have to go with the second one, even though it looks like a giant cheese wheel. It's a lot less aesthetically grating than the first one. The first looks like it would be a laceration hazard after a year or so when a couple metal corners get bent out. Gotta love that photo of "Dad" with the contemplative pipe pose though.
-Brittany Wells, 4th
I don't like them... they were made in the 50's and last time I checked this is the future and my house looks nothing like those and i'm happy.
Gavin 4th:)
The monsanto house of the future because its not full of metal. also i think that the design is better and the inside of the house is better.
Curly 4
i think i like the Monsanto House because it looks a bit more futuristic. The house looks small but it would do. I like the outdoor hang out spot without all the collor on it.
Bonifilio Soto 4th
I would choose living in the Monsanto House of the Future because living inside the tin house would be kinda and the electronics inside this house are better than just paintings and stuff on the wall
Jeron G. 4th Pd.
I would like the Disney one because it is shaped into a x.. I would have alot of room to play hide go seek and everything. It looks like it has a very large space area. But it looks like walking in it would give me a headache...
D'Ante Riggins-4th
I dont like either of these houses because they are too small and seem like they would be scary to be in in tornado but if i had to pick the Monsanto House of the Future because it isnt round and round houses seem hard to furnish emily 4th
I would like the Monsanto House of the Future because its more stylish and has a more beautiful architechture than the other one and it looks more like a house than the other one that looks like a giant hershey kiss.
Marilo4
I would rather deal with the Monsanto House of the Future bc every thing would be upstairs and the windows are all clear view.
-Jacques4th

Marsilo4
To me as time goes on things should be more sutrdy and well built but also make life simpler. The Dymaxion house is my house of choice as it is cheap, easy to build and has loads of adjustments to accomodate the needs of a family.
- Blake 4th
I dont like neither one of them, but if i did have to choose i would chose dymaxion house because to me it looks more roomy(:
The frist house is better because it has a lot of features that will save your life. The house was designed to last earthquakes and mores this house is safe and thats is what people want.
Zach-4
i would rather live in the Monsato house of the future because it look more fancy and the windows are made out of glass plus it looks big from the outside... preaty cool!
-Paz 4th
I would choose Disneyland's future house because for one, it looks a lot better than Bucky Fuller's future house. Bucky Fuller's future house looks dull and old fashioned, while Disney's future house looks more modernized which I like.
-Meleah 5th
i dont really like either of them. but i especially hate the first one, so i guess i would chose the second only because it doesnt look as cramped as the first one.
elizabeth turner 5th
i would choose the monsanto house. because the other house just looks UGLYYY!!!
David b. 5th
Round Dymaxion House- is the house i would rather live in:) Only because the living room is nice and it has glass doors , basically everythings glass around it. Totally love it !
-5th ambria
if i had to choose one would pick the MONSATO house because its less shiny
and its eleavted from the ground...but thats if i have to i really didnt like neighther
-norma5th
I would choose the Dymaxion House
because it's a simple design. It's open and bright, it doesn't have too much going on and i like that.
-P.5 Ivette F.
I would rather have the Mosanto House of the Future because I love the design of it and I'm a futuristic design fanatic. It would be cool to live in a house like that.
Jameika-5th
i honestly hate both of them. id be miserable living in either! if i had to choose i guess itd be the second one. living in a hershey kiss does not sound fun at all....too cramped and flat out weird. the futuristic-ness of the second one is cool...and i like how its high off the ground and has good scenary.
Caroline Kingham 5
i would like the mosanto house of the future. its out of the ordinary. everyone has brick houses. probably the same kind of style. so why not be different for a change and have a different type of house.
Osman 5th
I would choose the 2nd house for 2 reasons. 1:It would fit me more than the other would and 2:The other house looks old school.
Darian 5th
My pick would be The Innoventions Dream Home because of their sponsors. Their sponsors of Microsoft and HP usually come out with pretty cool stuff so a house filled with that would be nice. Wasn't much to pick from though, none of those houses seemed very futuristic to me.
-David Radnitzer
-5th
I actually would not like to have either.. they seem silly. If I just had to pick one I would pick the Monsanto House of the Future because they said that when they were trying to destroy it the ball bounced off of the house. I like the way houses are now though, wood, brick, non plastic...
Rhiannon-5th
i wouls like the disny wouse because it looks so much more cooler and awesome. on the days of my head aches it would such though and the cooling bill must be high for all that metal. eeeh they both have their goods and bads.
michi-7
I think i would go with the Dymaxion House because it was easy to built & it only took a day. Also it looks pretty nice from both the inside & out.
-Eric 7th
If I had to chose I'd probably go with the future house if only because it's tough enough to withstand the wrecking ball lol. Really though I'd rather not have either of them.
I probably would say the Mansanto House of the Future. It would be elevated off the ground. I don't know if the plastic would be very stable with natural disasters and such, but that house seems better than a bunch of shiny metal in a circle.
~Matthew DeWard 7th Period
I would rather have the disneyland virson of the house of tomarrow because it looks way cooler,but insted of it being made of shiney metal i would have it made of brick.everyone that passed my future house would say,"look momy that house is made of legos!"
cloudy,7th
I don't like them at all, but if I had to chose one it would be the first one. I like the fact that it shines a lot and it looks like a circle but I still wouldn't get any of them.
-Diana 7th pd.
i would choose the first house because of how simple and affordable it is. it wouldnt take much to maintain it.
Shaq - 7th
I like Disneylands version better because it looks more like a future home than the other house. The way it looks like its floating is pretty cool and water fall underneath makes it look like your rich.
Raul 7th
I would like to have the disney tipe house because it looks way cooler and more futuristic than the first one which in my opinion has to much chrome.
I would want to live in the Monsanto house of the future between the two of them simply because it is more futuristic and stylish. plus it's elevated off the ground which would be pretty cool.
Dylan-7th

M.Huesca 7th period
I choose the second house! It can survive a wrecking ball and if anyone ever wants to tear down my house for a development then they would have to spend extra time and labor just to get rid of it. Knowing that they would need to do it by hand makes me laugh. Plus, I bet if I ever did something crazy and the police wanted to bust into my house, they couldn't and that also makes me laugh.
-Ashley 7th
I would rather live in the Disney house. Because, honestly, the huge windows of the other house really bother me. I enjoy windows and sunlight, but not to the extent that the neighbors could watch my progress through the house. It's stalking made easy.
-Rye
I like the future home at Epcot by far the most! That Magic Mirror would really come in handy :) I like the Monsanto house's natural lanscape too, but find the plastic exterior and insides to be annoying and uncomfortable.
-Katherine :) 7th
First of all, I would like to say either one of these houses taking over the population would be plain depressing. However the Monsanto future house is much preferable to the dome shaped. In fact this Monsato house is actually pretty sweet, (just not taking over the housing market.) As opposed to the other house, it actually has an interesting shape. This gives the owner options for different style layouts whereas the dome shaped doesnt give you a whole lot to work with. Both these ideas are pretty rediculous but at least the 2nd one has a little sense of style behind it.
Ross C. - 7
i would rather have the Monsanto house because it looks like it would be more convenient.
@reidperry14 -8th
I would rather live in the Mosanto House. I like the overall design of the house better than the first one. I feel like the metal would be cool but get old after the first few days.
becca-8th

The Dymaxion House
cause idk looks better im not really into that high tech stuff , biut uhm a house made outta plastic ? no, thanks i rather live (:
-eli garcia 8th
I would choose the Monsanto House of the Future, because it has a bit more privacy than the first one and because its design is pretty cool. Love the way it is elevated from the ground..
-Juanita 8th
Monsanto House of the Future is a pretty sexi house and i would like to live in because i the way it looks and it looks new and original
placido =) 8th
I would choose the future house because it's more my style. I love things that are neat and future like. I hate metal and wood from the dymaxion house. Metal and wood just bugs me for whatever reason. I love in the future house it has the mirror, it would be good for choosing an outfit when I don't feel like making a field day through my closet.
-Destiny 8th
i didnt like none of them but if i have to choose one it would b Monsanto House of the Future. Why? bc it looks a little better than the other one plus the other one looks like everything is croweded.
Miguelito
8th
I would choose the second house because I like the architecture better than the round one and because it has pretty landscaping and a nice outside view. It would have more space and a lot cooler features than the first.
-Ellen 1st
i rather have the house that i havbe right now. its better than this weird ones. but if it was between one of does two house i would choose the first because its not tacki like the other ones. but it also looks nice and cumffy???
1st period HM
i wouldnt want either of them but for credit i want the 1st because its more modern and home styled then the 2nd ... id rather my kids be raised in a nice regular house.
~Miara 1st
I think i would choose the Monsanto House because it actually looks more like a house than all the shiny metal and its alot bigger.
K~Mac, 1st
the dymaxion was most ionteresting to me, but i would prefer to live in the Monsanto House of the Future.. It seemed more like a place i would like to live, not shiny.. Not to techy.. Not to open with soooo many windows. ;)
brittany Diaz 1st period
At the beginning I would of thought that the Disney house would be something I would like because of the fact that Disney have some really good engineers that make some great building for their parks, but know that I look at it The Dymaxion House I like better because of its unique and truly modern design. The whole idea of using materials just about 3,000 pounds instead of the traditional 300,000 is amazing. The roof doesn’t need to be reroofed, and the floors are made of plywood. I really love the fact that the outside walls are windows to the outdoors and that if you need to change it there are curtains… Curtains people!!!!!!!!!!!! You wouldn’t believe that a futuristic house would have curtains.
-Victor 1st
LOL @ Victor with the curtains!
I dont like neither one of them, but if i did have to choose i would chose dymaxion house because it looks more me and to me it looks more roomy(:
Samantha-4th
I wouldn't like to have either house because they just don't fit me at all. i wouldnt want to have my house to be all about metals and that other hose just looks to weird i rather build my own house my way.
yoana 4th period
i meant house
yoana
i would like the disneyland one more just cause it looks more futuristic and weird looking. the other one looks cool but it looks like it would get hot in the summer.
Luis M.-4th
I wouldnt really like living in either of the houses. I would feel rather cramped considering there are 4 kids at my house..But if i had to choose i guess i would pick the 2nd house becuase it isnt all metal and looks cooler. haha I just dont like how everything in the 1st house is all metal.
ellen ash-5th
Hey Ellen maybe you could have one of each and then the little kids could have their own house?
Ya know, as much as I would prefer living in neither of these styles of houses, I would have to say that my favorite of the two would be the Disney style simply because the other is so bland
Gage Green-7
monsanto style it just doesnt seem as ...boring to me its more interesting design makes it funner to live in -jasmine 7th
Although the Dymaxion house seemed to look like crude, I prefer it over the Monsanto House of the Future. Not only is it easy to assemble and transport from one location or another, but the safetey features prove to be legit if it can withstand earthquakes and tornadoes. Also, it easy to get around the house and everything seems to be just around the corner. Who cares about looks!? I'm all about safety. Yea yea!
-Neil Baquiran
Honestly, I like the Innoventions Dream House out of the three, even though it's not one of the actual prototypes. It just seems more realistic and comfortable. I think homes actually have a chance of being like that: tried-and-true comfort mixed with advanced technology. That's basically what they're like now. Houses don't change that much over the years, and there's no reason to start building houses like the Monsanto or the Dymaxion.
If I had to choose one of the prototypes, though, I'd choose the Monsanto. It's roomier and more private than the Dymaxion, which looks almost like a zoo enclosure: cramped and walled with Plexiglas.
Miranda Adkins, 8th
I would Definately want to have the first one but ony if i can do outside decorations. I wouldn't in no means live in a suburban or city area, i would have to live out in the country for privacy reasons plus it would be pretty to wake up and see the sun rise or whatever when i got up. The bed would have to be bigger of course and i would most likely try to make the house bigger if possible.
Sam 8
i dont like the first one at all its not cute at all.the bed was really small and their is barley any space.And the sytle from the outside is not cute not something that i would like to live in.
nelis 8th
honestly i wouldnt want either of these houses because they all look weird and its them dream houses that drive ppl insane i seen too many scary movies with "smart houses" so ill stick with my "dumb" house
jasmine-8
I like the second choice better because it would be easy to move only weighing 3,000 pounds and I also like the fact that you can enlarge the room that you are in! That would be incredible!
Kacy 8th
I really like the first house best because of the round shape and the large windows. I feel like it would be more open than the second house, and less constricting.
Trenton Birdwell - 8th
I like the Monsanto house because of the simplicity and the use of alot of windows. I guess it depends where the house can be located like on a mountainside.
