Hey all!

After watching a video from mikes blog about mobility in 80 years, it made me think about where architecture will be in that same era! It made me think about how our lives will change... most of us ofcourse will probably be dead by the time that 80 years has come, so i did

some research on future architecture within the next 30-40 years, and its amazing to see how our lives will evolve, wheather we live in a house a flat, a canal boat, and so on.

Environmental- Vincent callebaut and his concept of the Lily pad,

“ as a solution to the alarming problem of global warming creating an ecotectural marvel that will serve as a luxurious future retreat for 50,00

0 inhabitants seeking refuge from rising waters. I believe the world will be desperately seeking shelter from the devastations of climate change, the auto- sufficient amphibious city will serve as a luxurious solution.too bad that right we are close to 7 billion people and this luxurious future retreat is just for 50,000 inhabitants”

“i call this project “Lilypad“, but this ecotectural marvel is also called as “Floating Ecopolis for Climate Refugees”. The whole structure is covered in green walls and roofs, the top portion covered in grasses with the inner portion featuring a palm oasis, and the under portion serving as a bed for natural sea planktons and oceanic plants. Finally if you were already planning to reserve a place to this luxurious future retreat stay calm, i hope that “Floating Ecopolis for Climate Refugees” will make the transition from design to reality around the year 2100”

The Venus Project: Working Toward Sustainable Global Civilization

In order to survive global warming, the growing human population and other challenges in the upcoming centuries, some believe that we must start from scratch with a new model of human civilization that directs our technology and resources toward the positive, for the maximum benefit of the people and the planet. The Venus Project is a vision for a brand new world civilization and redesign of our entire culture. Circular cities with built-in farms and public transit, along with sea cities that can accommodate millions, are just part of this complex and visionary idea to take us “beyond politics, poverty and war”.

Dystopian Farming in Manhattan

Resembling the nest of an insect, the Dystopian Farming project by Eric Vergne combines farms, worker housing and market places, mixing politically opposing classes – farmers and urban consumers. The idea is to reject the romanticizing of food projection and embrace genetic engineering, airoponic watering and nutrient technologies in a fully man-controlled environment in order to meet Manhattan’s food production needs.
