Thats actually a very interesting analogy. Does seem to be the trend.
For me the most futuristic under construction is the CCTV tower in Beijing. To me that is damn impressive, damn original and bold. I can only wish to see it in person one day and savor the moment much like I guess one would savor in a piece of art at the Louvre.
The most futuristic proposal is Trump in Dubai. I want to see that built. Looks straight out of star wars. 80 South Street. London Bridge Tower
Most futuristic built, swiss re, hearst, bank of china (hong kong), turning torso
commercebank (frankfurt)
Most futuristic for its time: Chrystler, John Hancock (chicago), Transamerica, original wtc, Ryongyong Hotel, Seagrams (nyc), Citicorp (nyc)
