Tomorrow's world: Book shows a futuristic vision

24 : 08 : 2012 Design : DAAB : Futuristic Visions Of Future Living

International – A new book edited by Caroline Klein and professor Dr Stefanie Lieb celebrates the futuristic designs of 53 international architectural bureaux.

Futuristic – Visions Of Future Living, published by DAAB, investigates the world of tomorrow and offers a glimpse of the spaces that future generations will inhabit.

From green homes to underwater skyscrapers, the designers featured in this book have created buildings for a variety of future scenarios.

‘In the future, city high rises will reach into the skies like plants and feed by photosynthesis, while supplying their inhabitants with fresh air,’ predicts Lieb.
