Futurist architecture is an early-20th century form of architecture born in Italy,characterized by anti-historicism, strong chromaticism, long dynamic lines,
suggesting speed, motion, urgency and lyricism: it was part of the Futurism,an artistic movement founded by the poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.

The Art Deco style of architecture
with its streamlined forms wasregarded as futuristic when it was
in style in the 1920s and 1930s.
The original name for both earlyand late Art Deco was
Art Moderne--the name"Art Deco" did not come into use
until 1968 when the term wasinvented in a book by Bevis Hillier.
The Chrysler Building is
a notable example of Art Deco
futurist architecture.

Futurism after World War II
1. Googie architecture
After World War II, Futurism, considerably
weakened, redefines itself thanks to the enthusiasm
towards the Space Age, the Atomic Age, the car
culture and the wide use of plastic.
For example, we find this trend in the architecture
of Googies in the 1950s in California. Futurism in
this case is not a style but an architectural approach
rather free and uninhibited, which is why it has been
reinterpreted and transformed by generations of
architects the following decades, but in general we
find that amazing shapes with dynamic lines and
sharp contrasts, and the use of technologically
advanced materials.

2. Neo-FuturismIn the 1980s, French architect Denis
Laming, was one of the members of thismovement and founder of Neo-Futurism.He designed all of the buildings in
Futuroscope, whose Kinemax is the
flagship building.

3. Post-modern futurism
In popular literature, the term
futuristic is often used without muchprecision to describe an architecturethat would have the appearance of the space age as described in worksof science fiction or as drawn inscience fiction comic strips or comic
books. Today it is sometimesconfused with blob architecture.
The routine use of the term vagueand futurism — which rarely haspolitical implications — must be well
differentiated from the Futuristmovement of the years 1910 –1920.The futurist architecture createdsince 1960 may be termed post- modern futurism .
The San Francisco Marriott Marquisin San Francisco, California, a notable
example of post-modern futurism,was designed by the architect Anthony J. Lumsden (1989).
It is topped with a jukebox-shapedglass tower.

Characteristics of futuristic:
1 . Futuristic Architecture is the architecture of calculation,of reckless daring and simplicity, the architecture of reinforced concrete,iron, glass, cardboard, textile fiber and all substitutes for wood, stone andbrick, allowing maximum flexibility and lightness.
2 . The oblique lines and elliptic lines are dynamic, which by their very nature
have an expressive power a thousand times higher than the horizontal andperpendicular.
3 . The decoration, as something superimposed on architecture is absurd,and only use the original provision and the raw material or seen or violentlycolored depends the decorative value of Futurist architecture.
4 . As the ancients drew inspiration for his art, the elements of nature, Futurist architecture must find that inspiration in the elements of brandnew mechanical world was created.

5 . The distributed architecture and art forms of the building accordingto criteria is finished.
6 . Architecture must understand the effort to harmonize with freedom andgreat audacity environment and man, that is, make the world of things in a
direct projection of the spirit world.
7 . The fundamental characteristics of Futurist architecture will lapse andtransience. The houses will last less than us. Each generation should be madefrom their city. This constant renewal of the built environment contribute tothe victory of Futurism which already imposes the words freedom, plastic dynamism,music without quadrature and the art of noise, and we fought relentlessly against
the cowardly extension of the past .

Richard Rogers
Richard Rogers is an innovative British architect and urban planner practicing since late1960′s who is best know for his bold futuristic architecture, mainly expressed by its inside
out nature of structure and building services, which many have called ‘bowellism’.
Where ventilation ducts, hot water pipes and electrical conduits are considered ‘ugly’ andare typically hidden behind walls and ceilings, Rogers has made an effort change how weperceive architecture by exposing them on the outside of the building. Richard gained world
fame for his style by his design of Pompidou centre in Paris.

Protohouse 2.0
Employing the latest 3Dtechnology, London-based
architecture groupSoftkill Design is set to build
the world’s first 3Dprinted house using plastic.
Called the Protohouse 2.0,the new 3D printed dwelling
can be manufacturedin three weeks, away from site,and arranged in just one day.
Measuring eight meters in width and four meters in length, the Protohouse 2.0 will be printedin parts in a factory and then transported in trucks to the site or location, so they could be
assembled with minimum fuss. On top, the plastic house doesn’t need any bolting, screwing or
welding, as you can attach different pieces together, almost like LEGO bricks, within no time.

Protohouse 2.0
Featuring a fibrous nylon structure based on bone growth, the Protohouse 2.0 will employ less amount of material to construct the strongest architecture. Fabricating the components in laser-sintered bio plastic,the 3D printed house would be as good and solid as any other traditional house made using concrete.
The first prototype of the Protohouse 2.0 is expected to be launched by this summer..
