Two design innovations are evolving city architecture into real world, urban metropolis Coruscants.
Architect David Fisher has unveiled plans for an 80-story residential, shape-shifting, skyscraper. Fisher pretenses the Dynamic Tower "designed by life, shaped by time." Each floor, built prefab and powered on wind, will rotate independently. The effect looks something like jello. Dubai construction is expected complete by 2010. A second is currently proposed for Moscow.
Elsewhere, artist Olafur Eliasson debuts his New York City Waterfalls today. Four will flow in select locations through October. The project is the city's most expansive public art display since 2005. Eliasson calls it "both a natural phenomenon and a cultural one.”
As a resident of midwest suburban assembly, I appreciate the designers' bespoke enhancement of scape. My immediate environment is far too recent to have developed any semblance of physical personality - natural or otherwise. Here a house not vinyled in beige or gray or white, is cause for concern.

"Not in my backyard!"
All the while this duplicitous stagnation sits quietly under a big, red shadow of Super Target. The retail giant providing free roam for yuppie zombies and their yuppie zombie children. Shopping carts line the aisles, littered to the brim with home furnishings and needless accessories bought on impulse. "We've got to fill this house!" Neighbors scream unison. No matter how much shit they shove in em, most homes feel vacant and void of adventure.
Welcome to the land of same.
