It looks like Japan will be the first to lead the world in tackling our species habitation crisis, more prominent than Oil or Economy and possibly even environment .. although the two are very closely interlinked!
  Taisei construction corporation will be looking to develop a two mile high city in Tokyo's harbour and based on the artists impressions they look very future very sci fi.

 but please ask yourself one question .....would you like to be condensed in this fashion ...and if it must be so ....who would you rather designs this human encapsulating monolith .....Taisei construction corporation or Art by Valerio.......

 The Illustrations above show the two most recent works in progress . from a pre-chosen observation point(namely looking across Burrator reservoir and Sheeps tor looking south toward the distant plymouth sound.for illustrative purposes i have exaggerated certain elements of perspective) i have affixed the perspectives of what i believe our two possible outcomes could be from this stage ...the titles are 'Heaven' and 'Hell' . Heaven comprising all of my own designs based on my own independent studies of optimised human performance through environment and stimulus.
 The ' Green Star House ' in the foreground and the ' Mile Wide City ' concept in the distance of the 'Heaven' illustration are true to my own designs!

 please note the similarity between the Japanese artists illustration for the future and my own rendition of 'Hell' the only difference of note being that despite the incorporation of the the city on the horizon the outward spread is ever present!
