Paquebot buildings, streamline moderne furniture and airstream vehicles in an open-world game about the post-apocalyptic life after the nuclear war
Fallout 4 is an action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios. Released worldwide on November 10, 2015, it is the fifth major installment in the Fallout series. The game is set within an open world post-apocalyptic environment that encompasses the city of Boston and the surrounding Massachusetts region known as "The Commonwealth". The main story takes place in the year 2287, ten years after the events of Fallout 3 and 210 years after "The Great War", which caused catastrophic nuclear devastation across the United States.
An element of the game which I like a lot is the presence of the streamline design, or paquebot design, of some buildings, of the furniture and the cars. I tried to select some beautiful examples of this kind of architecture and design and I found some great stuff.
Fallout 4 takes place in the year 2287, ten years after the events of Fallout 3 and 210 years after the Great War, a war between the United States and China over natural resources that ended in a nuclear holocaust in 2077. The setting is a post-apocalyptic retro-future, covering a region that includes Boston, Massachusetts and other parts of New England known as "The Commonwealth". Unlike the previous titles, Fallout 4's story begins on the day the bombs dropped: October 23, 2077. The player's character takes shelter in Vault 111, emerging exactly 210 years later, on October 23, 2287.
The game takes place in an alternate version of history that sees the 1940s' and 1950s' aesthetics, design and technology advance in the directions imagined at the time. The resulting universe is thus a retro-futuristic one. The architecture, advertisements and general living styles are also depicted to be largely unchanged since the 1950s.

Vehicles are also very interesting and the design is very weird. Mostly, they look like all the vehicles of the 40s and 50s, but are also kind of futuristic redesigned.
