In the words of Keanu Reeves: “Whoa!” Normally we present to you the future of new devices that can provide you more and more technology in the palm of your hand, we even tell you great ways to use that technology but not very often do we get a chance to show you the future in a much more general form.
Here now is the future of the automobile and the skyscraper. First up is the new model from BMW; GINA Light Visionary model. This car “is skinned by four large pieces of flexible material that can stretch and contract based on a number of substructures that can move about on the chassis with electro and electrohydraulic controls.” I’ll let the video and picture below speak for itself:

Thanks in part to the visionary designs by David Fisher and his team our buildings will move and change with the passing of time. They’ll also produce their own energy and be quicker and easier to build. Check out this video:
Now here are a few additional shots of the proposed buildings:
Here is the man behind the new face of architecture:
