LA's futuristic structures of the past

Recently, there has been some interesting information shared about LA's futuristic structures of the past. These monuments to the future and technology (at the time of their creation) now hold a strange place in the hearts of Angelenos.

There has been some great news as to the future of the Triforium (which was glowing in flashing lights tonight).

Also, there is an interesting interview regarding the Theme Building (with interesting photos and plans) at LAX.

This leads to today's competition about Los Angeles of 2106. The ideas put forth by the architecture & engineering firms looks at a City where - it appears - there is no political conflict. With sweeping new aerial transportation systems to a cloud hanging over the City, these ideas were of the future that looks at the natural environment as a key player in the development of the Los Angeles of the future. It's not so much like the Theme Building of the 1960s or the 1970s' Triforium!
