What really gets me about this assignment is, the purpose of architecture will always remain the same. Whether the year 2012 or 2050. They are all about catering facilities for the end users. Light and temperature and smell and feel can only change so much in that time. The greatest factor which changes architecture in terms of a futuristic environment is technology. As technology advances some of the most pronounced architectural statements have been presented. Dubai is a great example of this with buildings constantly rotating around a central core. Obviously budget is another HUGE factor which is considered when designing.
Yasu mentioned that whilst this is a fictional assignment, there still needs to be a level of realism involved. Everyones interpretation of real and fake are very different. From my perspective in a short period of thinking about this, I see this project as using current architecture but manipulating form and techniques to cater for 'future' scenarios and issues.
