Walt Disney's EPCOT Center: Creating the New World of TomorrowBeard tells the story behind the research, design and building of the now open Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow in Florida's Walt Disney World. He covers the original inspiration behind the project as it developed in Walt Disney's mind and shows how Disney employees combined fantasy with science and technology to make these ideas a reality. The illustrations -- primarily artist's renderings, models and a few photographs of buildings in progress -- give a better idea of what the designers have envisioned rather than what actually will exist. |
