Thinking ahead

Currently I'm researching the work of Richard Neutra. His work, which is a direct reaction to the post war era, has brought upon questions of how the ongoing war has affected or will affect architecture in contemporary times. How I can relate this idea to my current research is still vague however I think it has promise.

Brain storming:
1. Responsive architecture
- how to build for protection
- protection = survival... survival architecture
- armageddon, a world without technology (?anti-electronics)

2. Warning systems
- remote detection - but of what?

3. Spawning a new culture (1950s today)
- "electro-burbia"
