Psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich declared the existence of a universal healing and revitalizing force, called "orgone", and created devices (such as the booth in this photo) to capture and administer it. He was fined and eventually jailed in 1957, known there by some as "flying saucer guy" and the "Sex Box Man".

The Carreras Cigarette Factory is a large art deco building in Camden, London, England. It is noted as a striking example of early 20th Century Egyptian Revival architecture. The building was erected in 1926–28 by the Carreras Tobacco Companyowned by the Russian-Jewish inventor and philanthropist Bernhard Baron on the communal garden area of Mornington Crescent, to a design by architects M. E. and O. H. Collins and A. G. Porri. It is 550 feet (168 metres) long, and is mainly white.

The building's distinctive Egyptian-style ornamentation originally included a solar disc to the Sun-god Ra, two gigantic effigies of black cats flanking the entrance and colourful painted details.

“[His] library was a fine dark place bricked with books, so anything could happen there and always did. All you had to do was pull a book from the shelf and open it and suddenly the darkness was not so dark anymore.” ― Ray Bradbury, Farewell Summer

 Although never built, the design for the Maison d’Artiste  - created in 1923 by painter Theo van Doesburg and architect Cornelis van -  is one of the key works of the Dutch avant-garde movement De Stijl. An Unfinished Icon by De Stijl explores the revolutionary cultural importance of the design, its significance for the history of De Stijl and its place in a history of the unbuilt architecture of the 20th century.
