Welton Becket - the Unofficial Imagineer

Walt Disney and Welton Becket surveying the model for the GE Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair | Photo: (c) Disney It was sometime in 1953 and Walt Disney was discussing his latest project, Disneyland, to his neighbor in Holmby Hills. He discussed the issues that plagued the development. The biggest being that the architecture firm he had hired to design the park did not seem to understand his vision for the park. His neighbor replied by telling him to ditch the outside architects and instead look to the art directors and artists to design the place. They would understand his vision. Walt took the advice seriously and within the year, WED Enterprises was established, featuring a new design organization complete with those who understood what Disneyland was all about. It was the beginning of Imagineering. The neighbor and friend that suggested Walt to use his own people was Welton Becket. Welton Becket was an architect himself, one of the most prominent.

The Art of Getting Around Walt Disney World

Photo: Sussman-Prejza Have you ever noticed how easy it is to get around Walt Disney World? Every destination you're looking for on property is clearly displayed in a series of interestingly colored signs, making it easy to get from here to there.

This special district gives Disney the ability to write their own building codes, maintain their own power plants, provide emergency services, and build and maintain roadways. It's for this reason that Walt Disney World is allowed to ...

Disneyland's House of the Future | Disney by Design

Photo: Disney Everyone is curious of what lies in the future, especially when it comes to what their homes may look like in the future. This fascination was particularly high in the 20th century, especially in post-World War II America. There was the immensely popular Post War House designed by Walt Disney's good friend architect, Welton Becket, which for a dollar, visitors could see an architecturally interesting house that gave a glimpse at what houses would look like in the next ten years. The house featured innovative technology and helped introduce many to residential mid-century modern architecture. Joining in on the Post War House's success, annual home shows throughout Los Angeles provided homeowners with exhibits on the exciting new technologies and designs coming to their homes in the near future.  The popularity of these houses of the future would eventually find its way into Disneyland's Tomorrowland, which was still trying to live up to its name as of ...
