The art section of the May 6th New York Times struck my eye in reference to ARCHITECTURE! Yes, architecture. The article titled "Paris Gives Itself a Futuristic Transplant" refers to a 1,000 foot-long steel bridge, a sight that I would love to see when I take my trip to Paris, France before I graduate. Glass and steel structures possibly similar to Philly's own at 30th and Market streets. Architects from france and other countries are contirbuting to this project that can help to revive the city's economy and universities while providing housing. I think it is commendable that they think of public housing for their city, unlike Philadelphia, who can only build businesses, hospitals, and schools, totally ignoring the citizens of it's city that will use these facilities but have no where to live.

Since architecture sounds like your thing: there was an article in a New York magazine that talked about how there was a competition for people to design the new world trade center. It showed some of the designs that top designers came up with and they were refered to as extremely futuristic
