Eames Archives: The House of Science

In a theatre adjacent to the IBM festivities at the Seattle World’s Fair, the #Eames film The House of Science was looped for the fair’s 9.6 million attendees. After the fair's six-month lifespan expired, IBM funded the reproduction of The House of Science so that it could be widely circulated. This particular film serves as a prime example of the Eames approach of distilling complex ideas down into smaller, more manageable bits of information. The audience of these presentations was never to be professionals and scholars, but instead, the common person.

I distinctly remember seeing the "House of Science" at the Seattle Worlds Fair even though I was only 4 at the time. There seems to be a poor quality copy of it on CZcams and it would be wonderful to have a hi quality copy available somewhere.
