Under constant guidance from Bob Whittier and Kent Hatch, this concept emerged as the Monsanto House of the Future, to be designed architecturally by Marvin Goody and Richard Hamilton (Goody & Hamilton), plus oversight from Pietro Belluschi, Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT, plus engineering structural calculations/designs by the Construction/Civil Engineering Dept under Albert Dietz.  Gigliotti liked and approved of this approach, and began developing this activity into a formal request for funds from Monsanto corporate headquarters, which he prepared and submitted. 

The proposal circulated around Monsanto with architectural renderings, and received enthusiastic support from Edgar Queeney, Monsanto Chairman.  Monsanto at that time was building a Hall of Chemistry in the new Disney theme park (Disneyland) in Anaheim California.  Edgar Queeney and Walt Disney were acquainted and apparently shared an interest in both flying and fishing.  A general discussion started within the Monsanto-MIT groups regarding the purpose, content, location, and funding for this project.  With Ralph Hansen's help, Michael proposed a multi-company approach, in a spectacular location, with each participant using the house to display its futuristic applications of plastics materials in its standard appliance or structural products.  Hansen and Monsanto's Plastics Marketing Department enthusiastically arranged for a dozen plastic-product manufacturers to participate.  Queeney arranged for Disney to consider the Monsanto House of the Future concept house, and its display of futuristic plastic products, as a feature of the Tomorrowland section of the new Disneyland now under construction.  Walt Disney immediately invited Gigliotti to visit with him in Burbank to discuss how and when to do this. 

In December 1956, with the help of Monsanto's corporate legal staff, Gigliotti and Disney agreed to a ten-year placement of the Monsanto House of the Future at the entrance to Tomorrowland, directly in front of Cinderella's Castle.  Gigliotti also arranged for the preparation/approval of a major corporate funding request and the internal Monsanto project would be managed by Gigliotti.  After realistic testing of the structural parts in Monsanto's Springfield plant, construction started in Disneyland in early 1957 and the House of the Future was opened in June of that year, to an immediate, worldwide, enthusiastic audience.  In the ten years from 1957 to 1967, more than twenty million people visited the Monsanto House of the Future and more than several hundred technical and popular articles were written in important technical and popular publications throughout the world.
