Googie architecture (/ˈɡuːɡi/ GOO-ghee) is a type of futurist architecture influenced by car culture, jets,
the Atomic Age and the Space Age. It originated in Southern California from the Streamline Moderne architecture
of the 1930s, and was popular in the United States from roughly 1945 to the early 1970s.

Googie-themed architecture was popular among roadside businesses, including motels, coffee houses and gas stations.
The style later became widely known as part of the mid-century modern. via
