In the 1960s, in reaction to the Modern Movement<\/a> rigidity, architecture underwent a period of radical experimentation, amid infinitely expandable housing capsules (Japanese Metabolism<\/a>), pneumatic cities (Archigram<\/a>) and geodesic domes (Buckminster Fuller<\/a>). Some of that visionary enthusiasm has survived to the present day, re-emerging on the real estate market: In fact, one of the Bulles designed by Jean-Benjamin Maneval, \u201clanded\u201d in a collector\u2019s garden, is currently for sale in France.<\/p>\n With around three hundred units produced between 1964 and 1968 within the research on plastic materials (including the first \u201cmaison tout en plastique\u201d by Ionel Schein and Ren\u00e9-Andr\u00e9 Coulon, presented in 1956 at the Salon des Arts M\u00e9nagers in Paris), the Bulle is a manifesto of the technical and figurative potential of this material and transposes the idea of \u201cnomadic\u201d, light and economical living into a compact house (approximately 36 square metres).<\/p>\n
