Revision as of 21:00, 23 January 2014
Neo-futurism is an early 21st century movement in the arts, design and architecture. It is a departure from the skeptical attitude of post-modernism connected with an idealistic belief in a better future.
The avant-garde movement[1] is a rethinking of the visual and functionality of the rapidly growing cities affected by a wide-scale urbanization. Neofuturist urbanists, architects, designers and artists believe in cities releasing emotions, driven by eco-sustainability, ethical values and implementing new materials and new technologies to provide a better quality of life for residents.
Origins
Pioneered in the eighties by thought leader Hal Foster,[2] french architect Denis Laming and Danish architect Jørn Utzon, italian painter Daniel Schinasi, theatre screenwriter Greg Allen[3] and Academy Award winner Chris Landreth, neo-futurism has been relaunched in December 2006 by innovation designer Vito Di Bari with the futuristic vision for the city of Milan at the time of the Universal Expo 2015 included in the candidature presented to BIE (Bureau of International Expositions):[4] a city of the future releasing emotions, improving the quality of life and driven by hidden next generation technologies[5] such as augmented reality, sensors, nanotechnologies, and robotics.
Definition
The definition came from the reference made by Di Bari, a former UNESCO's Executive Director,[6] to the United Nations’ report Our Common Future;[7] his theory was originally inspired by nanotechnology and arts having a common ground in addressing the issues of sensory perception of values and reality.[8] He envisioned "the convergence of art, cutting edge technologies and ethical values", later defined by spanish architect Santiago Calatrava as "a fusion of architecture, art and engineering" [9] by Steve Jobs "it's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities”[10]) by danish architect Bjarke Ingels as "a pragmatic utopian architecture that takes on the creation of socially and environmentally perfect places.”[11]
People
Neo-Futurist architecture and cityscapes have been creatively inspired by Iraqi-British Pritzker Prize architect Zaha Hadid,[12][13][14] indian sculptor Anish Kapoor[15] [16] and spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.[17] [18] [19] Italian Innovation Designer Vito Di Bari is considered the thought leader of the movement, his neo-futuristic vision of the “cross-pollination of art and technology for a better world” has been defined by Steve Jobs[20] as the "post-PC DNA"[21][22] and it is shared by acclaimed architects, designers and artists such as the youngest recipient ever of the Pritzker Architecture Prize japanese Ryue Nishizawa,[23] Design for Asia Award 2004-7-9 Hong Kong architect Gary Chang,[24] Italian architect Stefano Boeri, brazilian architects Bruno de Franco,[25] Caique Niemeyer and Rodrigo Othake; Lubetkin Prize Winner british Thomas Heatherwick, spanish architects Fermín Vázquez, Enric Massip-Bosch; Design for Asia Award 2008 japanese Tokujin Yoshioka, british 3D Mapping artist Ross Ashton, architect Ian Simpson and urban-noise artist Joseph Young; american artists Christopher Janney, Brad Downey, Erin Sparler,[26] Joey Deruy,[27] and Marlow Rodale;[28][29] italian large-scale buildings artist Mario Arlati, British Designer of the Year winner 1996-7 and 2001-3 Lee Alexander McQueen, german artist Horst Gläsker, dutch kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen, polish intermedia artist Karina Smigla-Bobinski, brazilian metabiotic artist, Alexandre Orion, french designer Clement Briend, tanzanian architect David Adjaye, turkish artist Serdar Arat;[30] australian designer Marc Newson and Studio-X artist Lawrie Masson.[31] and israelis designer Ron Arad.
