Daphne, me ha gustado mucho este enlace que se asimila a lo que en mis tiempos jóvenes llamábamos "futurismo". Es como el escenario de "La fuga de Logan" o de "Un mundo feliz" de Huxley. Gracias.

Digamos que ese "futurismo" se convierte hoy en el presente y cada día vemos más de estos edificios, no sólo planteados como diseño sino también en proceso de construcción. Un ejemplo sería la Ciudad de La Cultura de Peter Eisenman.
Saludos,

Yo vivo muy cerca de Azzano San Paolo, y no he visto ni movimiento de tierra. El fin de la obra estaba previsto para este ano 2013, pero no contaron con la crisis. Saludos Daphne.
