Futuristic architecture mesmerises and inspires. From structures designed to show us what the future might look like, to ones that experiment with challenging our senses - building design has never shied away from expressive, innovative, subversive forms. Modernist architecture, after all, looked pretty futuristic when it first emerged in the 20th century, its clean, sometimes dystopian brutalist architecture and occasionally cruise-ship streamlined volumes indicating a path into what the built environment might look like in years to come. In more recent times, parametric design has also been hailed as the way to imagine the future - and today, versions of sustainable architecture explorations offer yet another different path and meaning of what represents futuristic building now.
