Summary:

Since his retirement from practice, legendary architect and educator John M. Johansen has dedicated himself to the making of futuristic architecture inspired by cutting-edge science-nanotechnology, bioengineering, magnetic levitation. From a floating conference center to an apartment house that literally sprouts from the earth, the optimistic, capricious projects so beautifully presented in this book suggest new directions for an architecture befitting the twenty-first century.
