future world architecture vegas neo-natural superscapes

Neo-Natural Superscapes, as imagined by architect Travis Ingersoll. This hypothetical Vegas casino / hotel / waterpark of the future will be powered by robots & built from genetically engineered “drip” units.
Ingersoll: The basic unit is the drip, a protuberance that occurs at multiple scales. It materializes as such minor elements as the “fishbowl skylights” that hang above the casino, to the overall move of the four main towers, which are the same “driplike” form, only at a much larger scale.  In fact, every possible detail on the surface is limited to this driplike form, from the windows on the smaller side, to the water slide, theater and towers on the larger side.
