Which designer created a famous exhibit called "Futurama"?

Norman Bel Geddes created the famous exhibit known as "Futurama," which was a significant display at the 1939 New York World's Fair. This exhibit showcased Bel Geddes' visionary ideas about the future of urban planning and transportation, illustrating a sprawling cityscape with futuristic vehicles and architecture. His work emphasized the importance of design in improving everyday life and reflected contemporary themes of optimism and innovation in American society during the late 1930s.

The "Futurama" exhibit was not only a significant artistic endeavor but also a form of visual storytelling, capturing the public’s imagination about possibilities in the rapidly advancing world. Bel Geddes' use of scale models and engaging design effectively communicated his vision to a diverse audience, contributing to his legacy as a forward-thinking designer whose ideas laid the groundwork for later developments in urban design and industrial aesthetics.

The other designers listed may have made contributions in other areas of theatre or design but did not create "Futurama." Robert Edmond Jones was known for his work in theatrical scenic design, George Farquhar was a playwright from the 18th century, and Abe Feder worked primarily in stagecraft but did not have the same iconic recognition with "Futurama" as Bel Geddes did.
