Architecture has developed through the ages, specially after the world war-2 when we discovered as Urban communities that war was no longer useful, from that point human started a new ear of being a bit more civilized than before !
flashing our memory back to the architecture as a movie, shows us how the human urban development has formed from horizontal expansion to vertical, as a trial to maximize profits instead of the early urban Utopian cities that imagined heaven far from our life city centers where we have less pollution and more greens !
in fact this is how i imagine Newyork in 20 years ! its not gonna be bad ! but not as bright, life within 20 years will not change that much but humans will keep trying to overcome the existing feeling of horizontal expansion ( which is a must sooner or later ), more taller, agile, glossy tower with connections, bridges and some of that, a life that will expand more and more vertically, to respond to our higher density withing the congested city,
on the other hand humanity will keep using our old infrastructure ! because come on nothing changed yet ! but less light, less attention to the those old streets, less clean and unfinished works everywhere, A real contrast of old-new life forms.
finally this vision is not real, is not positive and yet to know its just a theory, but due to our life today am kind of skeptical about its bright future, hope am not too dark, and thanks guys, let me know what you think, and thanks a lot for reading some of “the poring architecture” theories !
