Exploring Populuxe: the rise and fall of Jetsons architecture in Pensacola

For those who grew up in the 1950s and 60s, the iconic cartoon The Jetsons, which debuted in 1962, painted a vivid picture of the future. Set in 2026, the show’s catchy lyrics – “Meet George Jetson, his boy Elroy, daughter Judy, Jane – his wife…” – transported kids to a world of flying cars, robots, and sky-high glass houses. This futuristic aesthetic, known as Populuxe, defined consumer culture and design trends in mid-century America.
