In the future buildings will be made of detachable Pods, held together magnetically. They will be able to detach and hover to wherever they want to go and then reattach to pod towers elsewhere. You’ll never need to hire a man with a van ever again.

Actually not anymore, we humans are literally seeding the clouds to artificially create rain, we are literally increasing the planet’s temperature every year, and we have been able to create 600 meter tall towers that can withstand earthquakes more powerful than the most powerful earthquake ever measured.

I knew One Central Park was by Jean Nouvel. Is that a mistake?

Constructing the Shard? More like "Bunch of random architects talking". Pretty dishonest, spark.

And despite these architects all fawning each other over how wonderful they are, the rest of hate what they are doing to our cities and strongly prefer the traditional aesthetics.

"And the future of skyscrapers." So, it's not that Spark was dishonest but that you weren't paying attention. Of course, if the producers give a documentary a misleading title, than does the youtube uploader give the correct title and have people complain about the title not matching the subject matter, or do they change the title and end up with people complaining that the title is incorrect? Hmm that's a toughie...

The architects were having a 'giraffe' . Try scrapping that off the pavement. What ever happened to ordinary? God, you make people sick.

Promotional diahorrea, I knew Guy's hospital needed a new psychiatric wing but the Shard and the Fire Extinguisher look like the patients. Sickening, these buildings are just not practical or normal.
