Visions of Future Living

This film presents architecture of the future, on land, in the ocean and in space. It moves outside America to include France, Switzerland and the Caribbean. We visit a futuristic home entirely controlled by a `house-brain' in Florida, meet avant-garde architects on the Côte d'Azure, witness underwater `self-growing' construction experiments in the Virgin Islands. We watch a French ocean-architect working in a diving cell in his office on a boat in Paris, and then accompany him on his underwater sightseeing vessel in the Mediterranean. Finally we meet the architect of the Space Station in Houston, USA. Fascinating original shots of space evoke a future which our children may experience one day: living on a space station, in orbit or on a colony on the moon - or even the planet Mars.
