With the exception of Children of Men, Blade Runner and Brazil (OK, I know there are a few more out there), there is a strangely clinical feel to future spaces. So I was thrilled when I encountered today this wonderful futuristic sports arena in Rome, Palazzetto dello sport by Pier Luigi Nervi, built for the 1960 Olympics. It’s all weathered and beaten by the elements. If I were to make a sci-fi, this is how my future would look!
