After doing some research, I found some projects which were visions of the future. This is a project from Archigram entitled "The Walking City". In this concept, these huge structures contain spaces to work, live and play, while all the time being able to move from location to location. This would be beneficial for access to resources and seasonal migration for comfortable weather.
This reminded me of a concept in Doctor Who, where humans are living in compact conditions on a spaceship after the Earth was destroyed by the sun. I wonder if the writers of Dr Who took inspiration from this archigram project, or whether the idea is a prominent one within the human psychology.
When looking at sci-fi architecture, or scenarios, the same patterns of ideas began to emerge. The built environment became bigger and more dense and the idea of a ground plain began to disappear, here are a few images.
These ideas however, are too far into the future for the project at hand, and it can be assumed that humanity would not change that much in the next 50 years. Even though technology might.
In essence, the way in which we live our lives will change, but the idea of a completely different scene isn't going to be apparent for a long time.
