Iconic Buildings for a Future Society

Fiberoptic facades, generative machines, green washes, artificially intelligent friends and optimistic dystopias characterize the exploration of Iconic Buildings for a Future Society throughout this semester. Is the near future a modification or our current reality or an idea that we cannot currently imagine? What is an iconic building? Does a building start as an icon of a society or does it become one through its relationship to its society over time? How can an existing city be redefined for the future? These are some of the questions that this studio has begun to contemplate.
