There are many superb architects considering how cities of the future will look. Bjarke Ingels group is one of my favourites. I’ve been a fan of B.I.G for many years. Not only do their buildings look incredible, there is a heavy emphasis on sustainability and integration with nature. Here are some of their designs:

The LEGO brand House in Billund, Denmark consists of 21 overlapping architectural blocks. It has a 2,000 m2 public square that allows visitors and citizens of Billund to spend time inside.

Mars Science City is a (earth-bound) prototypical test site for a sustained city on Mars to be built using robotic construction, excavation, 3D printing, and inflatable membranes. 

OCEANIX City is designed to grow, transform and adapt organically over time, evolving from neighborhoods to cities with the possibility of scaling indefinitely. Modular neighborhoods of 2 hectares create thriving self-sustaining communities of up to 300 residents with mixed-use space for living, working and gathering during day and nighttime.

All of these incredible buildings and concepts can be found on the Bjarke Ingels group website. There are many real projects and some conceptual ones too. I think I’d be happy to entrust our cities of the future in their safe hands.
