Dear everyone making these things up: Property rights aren't going to change in the future. Buildings will still be confined to the private land in between public streets. The block structure of existing cities isn't going to change. Please take this into consideration when drawing up your schemes.

With one of the New York renderings they seemed to have the streets going through the block buildings like tunnels.

Shhh... in the architecture world, there are no such thing as safety, handicaps or daily life. :haha: I didn't know Arup had a biomimetics branch! Maybe they actually don't, since googling it only leads to this article. I guess they want to find a break as big as the opera house.

Hah, I love the idea of floating or orbiting cities and whatnot, but the only way that's ever gonna gonna happen is if we literally ran out of land to build on and we'll be long dead before that happens :D so... Maybe a scientific facility with a few thousand people or so, but a city of millions floating in the atmosphere or on the ocean surface and orbiting the Earth or another planet or being on the Moon. Not happening.

This is how the space looks today. http://www.praguepost.com/pictures/1...7-3075-pic.jpg The firm Sporadical proposed a platform park above a major thoroughfare in Smíchov in the mold of Manhattan's High Line Park. http://www.praguepost.com/pictures/1...7-3074-pic.jpg The Coll Coll architecture firm proposed a new streetscape in front of the National Gallery. http://www.praguepost.com/pictures/1...7-3077-pic.jpg |
I can understand why all the predictions from the 20's have airships in them. before the Hindenburg, it was THE way to travel. heck, even the empire state buildings spire was originally meant to be a mooring mast for airships! all the things about superhighways got it spot on though.... that one photo with the empire state building being dwarfed by other buildings is completely unrealistic, because of how insanely wide the buildings are. imagine standing in the middle of those buildings!!! there wouldn't be any sunlight for 100 meters in any direction!

I see where Cesar Pelli got his inspiration for the Transbay park. |
