*This screed is awesomely entertaining and full of cool links, even though it’s almost entirely implausible..There’s also the occasional built-from-scratch Brasilia. So, some people might build a city like this in some central-planned, high-tech rush, before realizing that urban drones, bacteria, and 3DPrinters are fated to become as old-fashioned and pokey as swoopy, Space Age Brasilia is right now. - Bruce Sterling — Co.Exist. - Fast Company
As part of the Futurist Forum series, Chris Arkenberg composed some vignettes, suggestive of how urban architecture(s) could transform from than the rigid construction methodologies of today, the result being that "Architecture will lose its formal rigidity, softening and flexing and getting closer to the life we see in plants".

NO ONE OWNS THE FUTURE
Hey bud, I read a lot of Science-fiction too but that doesn't qualify me to be called a 'futurist'. Building cities with giant 3-D printers or brain-to-computer bio-implants wont make you more imaginative either. Cloned buidlings?
Creativity and Design are skills. . Yeah, I can imagine a three-headed man - does that make me a visionary?
