Future Architecture

Future Architecture:

The Forests and Animals of the earth are given the freedom to overgrow  the ancient human cities.

The bridges and concrete megaliths crumble from the year 2500 onward.

Humans all live inside and above the forest these days... In the Amazon Rainforest, You can walk inside glass tubes and corridors that segregate the human environment from the forest, to protect humans from the heat and humidity, to stop the house being invaded with birds and monkeys and frogs and snakes...

The forest covers most of the earth, and the cities are no longer dependent on resources such as water and transport, so they are all situated in scenic locations from the mountains to the seas, in coral reefs and in rocky escarpments in the andes, over the baobabs of africa, the grand canyon.

Always transparent and panoramic and in proximity to vegetation inside the city and outside.

The glass of the future is pigmented with electroreactive pigments of bright colors and photographic quality, and can change color to suit day and night, to obstruct neighbours views, and to display moving pictures in 2d and 3d. Some ladies have the instinct to display themselves in transparent houses and entire suburbs are marked as no-clothes zones, as the increasing trend for underwear becomes the everyday norm. Indeed, without shoes it's more pleasant to appreciate the warm sand, grass and stone that seems to cover the floor by some tactile and visible trickery. (okay, that paragraph was less logical)

The new NYC is a vast network of glass chambers of every size and shape possible, arranged into huge geometries of every kind, transport is either leisurely, trams travelling the sky, or through vacuum tubes at thousands of miles per hour to a nearby city, and the city sits atop of the old city, living above NYC's crumbling scyscrapers, empty green rooves and half forested roads, living in a glass palace above an abandoned city. The more the city rains, the faster it delapidates.
