Architect Who Inspired The Jetsons Passes Away

Ever wonder where Hanna-Barbera animators got their vision for the futuristic world of The Jetsons? A lot of the inspiration came from the forward thinking architectural designs of Gin Wong. Wong passed away this month at the age of 94. 

Wong emigrated from China at the age of 9. He eventually worked his way up to become president of highly respected Pereira & Associates architectural firm.

The Jetsons first aired in 1962 as Wong was making his mark on Los Angeles.
