I agree with Leewilson. I have the same oppinion. Future is relative, depends on the moment and how we are looking for something comparing to our experiences back in live and this changes everytime everymoment. Today something is futuristic, tommorow with new projects would be not anymore. With a spread knowledge almost nothing is futuristic for a while.
Also, I agree this thread is one of the most interesting in site. Congratulations for the one how the idea had.
The torsional tower in Malmo is pretty good. As it is very higher comparing to a low city, makes it predominant. If the same construction would be in NYC or in middle a jungle of high blgds, the dominant aspcet would be not there anymore.
