Overview

Neo Futurism is a global architectural style rooted in Global - Neo Futurism has no single geographic origin. It gained momentum in the 2000s-2010s as a reaction to the austerity of late modernism and the irony of postmodernism. Key exemplars include projects in China (MAD Architects, Zaha Hadid), the UAE (Dubai's Museum of the Future), Azerbaijan (Heydar Aliyev Center), and Europe. It represents architecture's renewed optimism about technology, the future, and the expressive potential of digital design and advanced engineering....
