Summary:

"How does it feel to live in a UFO? The children who grew up in such a space capsule-like structure in the 1960s/70s say: quite normal. Her parents, however, had to be almost "naive and brain-drained" to venture such an experiment: living, working and loving in a plastic cave, a single large room or in small capsules. Today, roughly 50 years later, there are hardly any first owners living in their UFO houses. A new generation is just rediscovering these buildings. They find them on the beach, in the woods, or on abandoned industrial grounds and save them. For these new keepers, the UFOs are liberating places of thought. The authors divided the work for this book into two halves: Elke Genzel visited the old builders and their families, Pamela Voigt visited the young residents and new users who made other people’s dreams their own. Book Two - life in plastic buildings - are not only the stories of family life, but also of guests staying at the beautiful Hotel Ještěd, arriving after an alpine hike at the Polybiwak Refuge, or researching at the Inukshuk Igloolik Research Centre in Antarctica"-- Provided by publisher.
