The Bedouin tent is more futuristic than a skyscraper.

  Its not really more futuristic, considering its a tried and true design.

  I think you mean its just better designed

    Futuristic: adj, of or relating to the future (climate collapse)

    Futuristic = “having or involving very modern technology or design”. To me, the traits that define “very modern tech and design” include mobility, sustainability, resilience, and harmony with nature. By that standard, consider the Bedouin tent - not futuristic in materials, perhaps, but certainly in philosophy.

      Futuristic in concept. Futuristic in design.

  I totally get your thoughts and support parts of them. Let’s just agree that skyscrapers are dinosaurs.

  But the bedouin tent, does it provide shelter during heavy storms or even earthquakes? What about smart home technology, wifi and a place to mount solar panels? Is it energy efficient?

  But probably it’s a great idea to include concepts of temporary, mobile buildings into our architectural future.
