"The lost future" y las "Green cities" A Christmas afternoon, lying on the couch, trying to digest some excesses binge and night, I swallowed the TV premiere of the film "The lost future" (a real snafu *). The movie is based on an alleged post-apocalyptic future where nature invades cities, new creatures in the wild (or mutant) and a group of survivors struggle to re-establish the "civilization" and "race" human. The official synopsis reads:
In 2510, the Earth is a post-apocalyptic world where Mother Nature has taken over and everything is invaded by wild forests and jungles threatening. New and bestial creatures have emerged to dominate everything. A group of hunters trying to survive day to day,
menacing also an eerie and dangerous disease ... "
In the picture above can guess why I endured viewing of the film. When the players arrive at the remains of a city are the most evocative images of what could be a city-mixed nature.
It is strange that seduce us (many architects) images than in other areas we consider a post -apocalyptic. But I can not compare with the
countless cities and buildings "super-green"
illustrated magazines, websites and architecture competitions.
The search for "green building" and some other terms often used to illustrate a future in balance with nature at an alarming reminder of "the lost future." Buildings like that Ken Yeang plans show:
For years science fiction films have shown
the future of the planet as a big city urbanized. An artificial layer (and ultimately virtual) surface completely covered in futuristic imagination not many years.
The makeover of the future is considerable though it is presented as a post-apocalyptic scenario.
Apocalypse now!

the
snafu was a ritual, forced stew was served in the common dining Spartans and their composition is unknown although many believe that should carry blood between meats and vegetables. We do not know the meaning today is associated with "snafu" is due to its taste or slander of Athenians and modern writers even claim that his courage and bravery in battle was because they would rather die and be back eating crappy again. What is certain is that those who imposed the plate, Lycurgus, the Spartan ended up driving stoned.
