Googie architecture
Googie architecture is a futuristic design style that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s, particularly in the United States. It is characterized by bold, unconventional shapes, bright colors, and dynamic forms that suggest movement and excitement. Common features include wide overhangs, large windows, and neon signage. Often associated with roadside businesses like diners and motels, Googie reflects the optimism of the post-war era and the rise of car culture. The style aimed to attract attention and convey a sense of modernity, embodying the dreams of space age technology and leisure in mid-20th century America.
