Disney's old House of the Future was Eames-influenced

A collection of drawings from the planning stages of the original 1950s/1960s Disneyland Monsanto House of the Future demonstrates the profound influence that Eames' designs had on the Disney planners.

...they’re currently for sale on ebay. The seller explains: “We purchased this group of related drawings and paper at a local estate auction. The estate sale was that of a designer named Aureli - according to the auctioneer who sold this he had been an architect and had taught at both Columbia and MIT.”
