An ad for the Xerox Alto, a personal computer that was released in 1972. At the time, the concept of a networked personal computer at the office was counter to the traditional form of business computing which relied on mainframes. The Alto features a vertical screen and a mouse, which was not a common input device for computers at this time.

RIP: Irving Harper, famous for his work for George Nelson (Marshmallow Sofa, the ball clock, sunburst clock) and Herman Miller (including the iconic Herman Miller logo). Here is a really lovely article from Herman Miller about his contributions to their graphic identity.

a video of the Nagakin “plug n’ play” capsule tower in Japan. Built in 1972, this radical architectural concept featured fully independent “capsules” that were held together by just a few screws. Each capsule contained a bed, built in storage, a small refrigerator, and a bathroom. The capsules were designed to be easily replaced, although apparently none of them ever were. This video does a nice job showing the “space ship” design of the interior and the disrepair of the building in its present state.
