Architecture of the future is not a style, when we try tocontemplate the Architecture of the Future in somewhatconcrete terms, it is clear that we are not trying to predict a

particular architectural style of the future as such

We all have to think what architecture will achieve in order toimprove human civilization of the future, and createenvironments which are conducive to legitimate human needsand aspiration.
