The Futurists You'd Like To See...

Here's a question: which futurist/architects' work would you like to see represented in our builds? We've a goodly dose of Fresco, some Coruscant by way of ILM, and increasing amounts of high-raygun. But who else's work do you think ought to inspire builds?

I have an inherited fondness for Paolo Soleri and Syd Mead. Soleri's work is of a daunting scale... tho' I dream fondly of a commission to build one of his arcologies out of City In The Image Of Man.

Mead... I am working on. ;-)

Some nice imagery there Isenhand. The UFO Series picture must be a fan model, as the "Eagles" were from Space 1999. I especially enjoy the technocracynet image galleries.

The "Futuro" slides are a bit similar to some of the pods I've built, and some I'm still in the process of conceptualizing.

That's a very nice reference. I was well aware the Walt's dream of EPCOT was bastardized into another theme park and never realized. It's quite a shame really...

Incidentally, I've created a "Sky Island" above my property in NeoVenice at 250m. The build is inspired of course, by Roger Dean's artwork, included those images I've posted on this link. The Island is accessible by Teleporter from the balcony of my abode. I'd be interested in any feedback on this build, as I'm still in the early stages of refining it.

For the gorgeous 'Mass Effect' screenshot alone, you get a cookie, Isenhand. I'm a very happy owner of the FL book, 'The Art of Mass Effect', and so I'm familiar with the concept drawings, but have never seen the final product.

I'm not sure if I would like to play the game but I keep thinking about getting just to walk around that world!
