Suddenly buildings, people and trees were upside down or sideways, sometimes almost spinning around from the perspective inside this giant futuristic construction.
If printed concrete strikes you as futuristic building material and process, rammed earth as a construction matter sounds positively pre-historic – but utilising 21st century engineering know-how it's very much a material of our time.
In another futuristic twist, the 10-story tower at 335 East 27th Street in the Kips Bay neighborhood will rise thanks to modular construction, becoming Manhattan's first apartment building to do so: units will be prefabricated, then stacked on top of one another like Legos.

Sleek and futuristic glass and chrome constructions sit next to crumbling, bullet-blasted stone facades, giving the city a patchwork character.
It is expected that the promising findings reported in this study can be extended to synthesize ordered mesoporous nanostructures which will be useful for the design and construction of futuristic e-nose with enhanced gas-sensing performance.
The essay was illustrated with Smithson's black-and-white snapshots of the industrial Passaic River, and the piece reads like Smithson's version of Thomas Cole's "The Course of Empire," written and illustrated rather than painted, and infused with a vague sense of futuristic dystopia set in construction rubble.
