IRL Frutiger aero?

Post by bluelace »

This thread is just me dumping my wishful thinking, but I've been thinking constantly about another crazy idea of mine. 
You see, I picture a large city- like any other functionally, but it's all themed in Frutiger Aero, like not a single aspect of the city won't make you think: "Am I inside of a windows 7 computer?" I'm thinking of reflective roads that glimmer in the sunlight, clean and pure living areas with marble pools everywhere, a skyline that perfectly matches the skyscrapers, grassy paths with perfectly shaped trees all around, glowing billboard displaying various Aero-themed products, and buildings of translucent shades of blue, green, and white.
Now obviously, none of this will happen as long as we're in this world, mainly because it would take literal trillions of US dollars to build, and millions just to maintain the delicate balance of natural beauty and human innovation. But also, we would need millions of workers and roughly 75 years, along with every single person being in on this crazy project.
Anyway, that would be cool, don't you think?

I agree that it would be cool, even if probably very impractical and difficult to build/maintain. I'm not an economist or anything, but I definetly see a project like this failing, or ending up looking awful not long after being finished, though there probably used to be successful examples of frutiger aero architecture in the past (probably on a smaller scale, isolated to single buildings or just interiors).
If you want to look into something kinda similiar to frutiger aero and kind of recent, I'd recommend looking into "The Line" city project that I think is still being constructed in Saudi Arabia.
