The Venus Project // Futuristic Design // acque Fresco
Jacque Fresco is an industrial designer, author, lecturer, futurist, inventor, and a pioneer in the field of human factors engineering, based in Venus, Florida, USA. Fresco has worked as both designer and inventor in a wide range of fields spanning from biomedical innovations to totally integrated social systems. His optimistic view and desire to create solutions that maximally benefit the greatest number of people stem from his formative years during the Great Depression. In the mid-1970s, he started The Venus Project and the non-profit organization Future by Design together with Roxanne Meadows, that reflects the culmination of Fresco’s life work. To this day he writes and lectures extensively on subjects ranging from the holistic design of sustainable cities, energy efficiency, natural resource management and advanced automation, focusing on the benefits it will bring to society.
A major theme of Fresco’s is the concept of a resource-based economy that replaces the need for the scarcity-oriented monetary economy we have now. Fresco argues that the world is rich in natural resources and energy and that — with modern technology and judicious efficiency — the needs of the global population can be met with abundance, while at the same time removing the current limitations of what is deemed possible due to notions of economic viability.
He gives this example to help explain the idea:
“At the beginning of World War II the U.S. had a mere 600 or so first-class fighting aircraft. We rapidly overcame this short supply by turning out more than 90,000 planes a year. The question at the start of World War II was: Do we have enough funds to produce the required implements of war? The answer was No, we did not have enough money, nor did we have enough gold; but we did have more than enough resources. It was the available resources that enabled the US to achieve the high production and efficiency required to win the war. Unfortunately this is only considered in times of war.”
Fresco states that for this to work, all of the Earth’s resources must be held as the common heritage of all people and not just a select few; and the practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter-productive to our survival.

For a hard urban style backpack, you do not see Repp Furthur II, with an iPod jack and integrated speakers.
Futuristic Cars
What is in a car? And what is especially in car design? Perhaps you hanker for the newest, latest, sleekest look or perhaps you simply think that futuristic looks are plain odd.

Future Architecture
Located in Baku, Azerbaijan, these futuristic architecture consists of three iconic urban building including Hotel Full Moon, Full Moon Bay, and Hotel Crescent.
Facing the Caspian Sea, the buildings are named Hotel Full Moon – a disc with rounded edges and a hole in one of the top corners – and Hotel Crescent, a curving arch similar to a crescent moon – and will mark out an area appropriately named Full Moon Bay. Designed to appear drastically different from different viewing angles – from one angle Death Star and from the other Gherkin – Hotel Full Moon will be a 150 meter-high, 35 story luxury hotel with 382 large rooms.
The Dubai authorities are focused like a laser beam with the most impressive buildings built in the world. If they have the highest hotel, the Burj Al Arab, and the tallest tower, Burj Dubai.
Now they busy with another impressive building in the Middle East, the Dubai Opera House and Cultural Center, the George Lucas film, Star Wars evokes. The architectural design of this project came from Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher. The mild form of liquidation of the structure evokes images of mountains or desert sensual.
The project offers an exciting new cultural center in the new Seven Pearls district of Dubai. This landmark development will host an opera, theater, art gallery, performing arts school and themed hotel on an island in Dubai Creek, just off the mainland district
TreadwayMobility
Developed by Peter Treadway, these motorized shoes basically "allow you to get from one place to another by adapting to all native forms of transit; when you are not zipping around at up to 10mph, you can ride a bike while wearing them, walk with them, even drive a car with them on." Video after the break.
Futuristic Computer Case
File this under: "Creative Case Mods" This modder decided to break away from traditional design and go with a futuristic custom-built case. Cooling definitely isn't a problem. Hit the jump to view more pictures.
If you are lazy to walk
If you are lazy to walk or do not want to waste your energy, you can use this tool from Honda. With this tool you can easily do a job that involves the hips and legs. This device can hold the weight and cost to lighten the burden while walking and moving. This creative art has a weight of 6.5kg and uses two batteries to operated. This technology can reduce weight and facilitate the movement of people, especially the elderly.
