Architectural futurology
New York and Tokyo in the near future
The project is called Aqualta, the main task — to predict ways of adaptation of the population to changing conditions. According to authors of the concept, harbour and system of pendant channels will replace existing transport system.The name has given to the project concept Acqua Alta, the name of high inflow which threaten with flooding of Venice. On illustrations the future of two megacities, Tokyo and New York is shown, which adapt (instead of resist or try to resist) to changes in the nature.
NYC & Tokyo
Authors assume that inhabitants of cities will move above, and as the earth (for cultivation of plants and walks) will use roofs.
Cities are shown without pollution — engines, cars, power stations have become outdated and have gone out of use.
Project Aqualta tries to reflect on a theme of how cities can acclimatise to the nature.

The project of the threefold bridge for medieval village
The Italian architects from bureau Progettospore have offered the project of the threefold bridge for pedestrians and easy transport which is developed specially for medieval Italian village. The matter is that this small settlement is on a mountain slope, at height of 480 metres.
The bridge in eternity
The concept has been created for competition on the project of the new bridge which should connect village to an external world. Project Progettospore consists of three bridges which are hanging together.
“Creating this bridge, we have drawn lines which as though are groundless”, — authors, — “that the person moving on this bridge speak, felt free, as a bird, moving in air space”.
The medieval modern bridge
We have broken a stereotype that the bridge should have one input and one exit — the given bridge offers their set. The third bridge is accessible to pedestrians with the complicated traficability, on invalid carriages. Trajectories of the bridge and mutual crossing has allowed to use a minimum quantity of support. These three paths in the sky actually represent the uniform interconnected design.

Alternative skyscraper in New York
In the middle of financial buildings and inhabited towers the Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut is intended to erect an alternative skyscraper. 132 floor complex will be constructed in the south of Roosevelt Island, symbolising necessity of ecological stability. The main accent of this conceptual design — attempt to create completely a self-sufficient organism which processes energy of the sun, wind, water, and also can make food, in the middle of a megacity.
Alternative skyscrapers of the future
The system is concentrated round two basic towers. They are organised symmetrically, grow not only is horizontal, but also vertically, that is important for close Manhattan.
Conceptual skyscraper in Manhattan
The metal and glass wings inspired in the image of a dragon, become the house for plants and animals. Thanks to a favorable environment, the good sun and winds, at numerous levels where nutritious soils will be placed, plants will be grown up. External vertical gardens will eat rain water which after use will be mixed with a household waste, after subject to organic processing, for further use in a farm.
In space between wings warm air with which help the premise will be heated in the winter gathers; in the summer natural ventilation, and also evaporations from plants will cool air.

Art pavilion from company Carmody Groarke
Eight-metre light-emitting diode columns
The pavilion represents eight-metre columns with light-emitting diode lamps, with a steel three-metre plate on a top (!). The density of placing of columns is non-uniform, and in the centre they and at all are absent, opening the review on the sky.
Pavilion building in London
The idea of a construction was born in 2007 during carrying out of the competition organised by Fund of architecture in English capital. All design of pavilion is addition to the general design of a building to which a construction was an extension, and impracticality of construction gives to the project special utopianism.

The input in a building is combined with a small court yard. Rather big facade of the house, with a more potential for spacious windows is inside hidden. The corner of the review from the house is slightly under a corner.
Local authorities do not welcome modern decisions in architecture. But this design has been apprehended positively, as an example of the pragmatic unostentatious project in very sensitive district.

It is interesting, that in Switzerland the statement of the building project is carried out after on a site the wooden model of a building is erected. Then inhabitants of the given district, representatives of local community either approve the project, or reject the project, proving it that the architectural design is not entered in a district general plan.

Three million sq. m. of a site will give accessible habitation of average density of building for 20 000 inhabitants, some foot tunnels will allow to carry out an easy approach to any point of quarter, and technological features, such as universal Wi-Fi, will make a finding this quarter the most comfortable.
Project Ghantoot in Abu Dhabi — an inhabited complex for 100 000 inhabitants who should enjoy a site similar to a resort in this historical oasis, located along a gulf halfway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with convenient access to local ports and the airports.
