W/NW: Futuristic buildings

This is a local Library built in the 1970s, to me it looks like a landed flying saucer.

Wow, I love them. I saw them some weeks ago in a photo-stream of a newspaper about futuristic architecture of the former east block states. Very impressive.

My contribution are two buildings here in my hometown Bremen, Germany. The long one is called "Fallturm". It is basically a 146m high tube which can be evacuated until there is space-quality vacuum, in which then micro-gravitational experiments are done. The can get about 9 seconds of zero gravity by shooting a capsule straight up to the roof and letting it falling down again...

The other one is called "Universum" and is a science museum one corner away from the Fallturm.

The linked images have about 200-600 kb in size.

Given the current economy, maybe these are the future...

Futuro. House of the future.
O.K. now it's a house of the past. 😀

So THAT'S where I parked it. I've been wandering around this stupid mall parking garage for years. Now if I could just find my keys...

Hilton Palacio del Rio on the San Antonio Riverwalk. I think it was considered pretty futuristic when it was built in the 1960s. Both taken with Sony NEX-3 and 18-55mm kit zoom lens.
