The Lincoln Futura made its official public debut on January 8, 1955, at the Chicago Auto Show, after being shown to the press earlier that week. Beyond auto shows, the Futura had a significant impact on pop culture. It was modified by Hollywood customizer George Barris into the Batmobile for the 1966 TV series “Batman.” The car was also featured in the 1959 movie “It Started with a Kiss,” starring Debbie Reynolds and Glenn Ford.
The Lincoln Futura was designed by Ford’s lead stylists, Bill Schmidt and John Najjar, and was hand-built by Ghia in Turin, Italy. It boasted a 300-horsepower V-8 engine, push-button transmission controls, and a distinctive double-dome canopy roof. Its body style was a 2-door coupe with a front engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Its original pearlescent finish was created using ground fish scales to achieve a shimmering effect.
The styling elements of the Futura, such as its headlights and tailfins, influenced the design of production Lincolns in the following years, and its concave front grille inspired the grille on the 1960 Mercury Monterey and the 1960 Ford Galaxie. [Sources: Wikipedia and Bing Copilot]
The iconic Hyatt Regency San Francisco at Embarcadero Center is renowned for its futuristic, towering atrium, designed by celebrated architect John Portman. Opened in 1973, the hotel revolutionized public spaces in hospitality with its 17-story atrium—once the largest in the world. This architectural masterpiece is a blend of concrete and glass, creating a vast vertical space that showcases the daring modernism of the 1970s.
The photo captures the breathtaking scale and geometric rhythm of the atrium’s upper levels, where rows of balconies create a striking visual pattern. These balconies form part of the hotel’s radial design, giving the space a sense of limitless expansion. The angular lines that seem to shoot upwards direct your gaze toward the ceiling, where natural light filters in through strategically placed skylights. The atrium not only serves as a functional part of the hotel but also acts as a work of art, enveloping visitors in an environment that feels both grand and intimate.
Portman’s design makes incredible use of perspective and light, with sunlight streaming through the upper skylights and casting intricate shadows across the expansive interior. The atrium’s verticality is further emphasized by the glass-enclosed elevator shafts, adding to the futuristic and almost spaceship-like atmosphere. This dynamic space remains a focal point of the Hyatt Regency, offering guests a sense of awe and tranquility in the heart of San Francisco’s bustling financial district.
The Hurricane was designed by Holden, General Motors’ Australian division. It featured a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and stood just 39 inches tall. The car had a sleek, futuristic design with a hydraulically powered canopy that swung forward over the front wheels, allowing access to the interior. It was powered by a high compression 253 cubic inch (4.2 liter) Holden V8 engine producing 259 horsepower.
The Hurricane was packed with cutting-edge technology, including the automatic control of cabin temperature, one of the earliest uses of digital instrument displays, a rear-view camera connected to a CCTV screen in the center console, and an early navigation system using magnets embedded in the road to guide the driver, a precursor to GPS.
After being stored for many years, the Hurricane was fully restored by Holden in 2011 and displayed at the “Motorclassica” car show in Melbourne in October 2011. It was also featured at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia in 2013, where it garnered significant media attention.

San Francisco’s skyline is a dynamic blend of old and new, and this cityscape showcases that in full force. Anchoring the scene is the futuristic Salesforce Tower, completed in 2018, which stands as the tallest building in San Francisco at 1,070 feet. Its sleek, tapering design is a symbol of the city’s modern tech boom, representing a significant shift in San Francisco’s architectural narrative. Its glass curtain wall, reflecting the sky and surrounding structures, gives it a lightweight and almost ethereal appearance amidst the more traditional buildings nearby.
In contrast, we see the Bank of America Center, a hallmark of Brutalist architecture from the 1960s, which offers a stark, geometric contrast to the curving form of the Salesforce Tower. The Heuristic architecture seen in some of the mid-century modern buildings reflects a period when function met form in the most utilitarian of ways.
The reflected glass of the 50 Fremont Center foregrounds this view, showing the intricate dance of light and shadow as it plays across its surface. This building, completed in the 1980s, carries a postmodern flair, combining reflective glass with polished stone. In the background, some of San Francisco’s older Classical Revival structures also make their presence felt, with arched windows and ornate details that remind onlookers of the city’s long-standing commitment to blending history with innovation.
As the city continues to grow and evolve, this juxtaposition of past and future in its skyline highlights San Francisco’s unique identity as a hub for both cutting-edge technology and timeless architecture.

"The Shadow Driver"
Cutting through the pitch-black night, the car speeds along the suburban road. The driver, wrapped in a studded leather jacket, wears a black cloth across his eyes like a blindfold, silently gazing ahead. The numbers "P 4439" glow blue-white on the dashboard, like a cipher for this night's mission.
The line of spikes along his shoulders, sharp as his past scars, deepens the shadows falling inside the car. A silver chain swaying at his neck occasionally catches the moonlight, casting cold reflections. That light silently speaks of the weight of the mission he carries.
Tonight, he has something that must be delivered. A dark cargo that would never be spoken of in the daylight world. Beneath the leather jacket, his heart beats with unwavering certainty.
On the suburban road where streetlights grow sparse, only the engine's growl breaks the night's silence. Just a little further to the destination. His mission must be completed before dawn breaks.
The tension floating in the car's interior and the shadows cast by the leather's texture - these are fragments of an untold story, of those who live in the city's underbelly, a tale known to no one.
----------
In the dead of night, a mysterious driver in a studded leather jacket and blindfold races through suburban streets. The dashboard glows with "P 4439" as he carries out a secret mission. Silver chain catches moonlight, marking him as a shadow dweller in the city's dark underbelly.

We focused on the NPCs who support the world of Cyberpunk 2077 behind the scenes and cut out photographs of their daily lives in Night City.
Although we tend to focus on NPCs who are involved with the story line and the main character, the majority of NPCs present in the city also have their own individual faces and lives. Each of them is assigned a name and, to a limited extent, they all perform human activities. It is no exaggeration to say that the fascinating worldview of Cyberpunk 2077 is supported by them.
I wanted to express my respect for the many faces of these often-overlooked characters, and for the creators of CD Projekt Red, who put a lot of hard work into creating these often-overlooked NPCs, and even behind the scenes.

The General Motors Phantom Coupe, also known as the Pontiac Phantom or by its internal code name "Madame X", was a personal expression of Bill Mitchell's design philosophy and was intended as a retirement gift to himself. It was also the final project for his Studio X, which had been reopened specifically to design this car. The design of the Phantom harks back to the late-1930s Cadillacs, reflecting the style that Mitchell had earlier in his career. By the time Mitchell retired in 1977, he had worked his way up to vice president of design for all of GM's divisions. At that time, he was responsible for designing the Pontiac Firebird, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Corvette, and Buick Riviera. His designs were eventually turned into more than 100 million cars.
The Phantom was built on the chassis of a Pontiac Grand Prix and featured a fastback two-seat coupe design. However, it only consisted of a fiberglass shell and did not have a drivetrain, making it inoperable. Despite its non-functional status, the Phantom was a significant piece as it represented the kind of cars Mitchell loved and his vision for GM's design future.
After its creation, the Phantom Coupe faced some resistance within GM. When Howard Kehrl, the executive vice president of product planning and technical staffs, saw the car at the Milford Proving Grounds, he ordered its immediate removal. Nevertheless, the Phantom's legacy continued, and the car is currently preserved in the collection of the Sloan Museum in Flint, Michigan.
Bill Mitchell's impact on automotive design is profound, having been responsible for iconic designs, and his work has influenced generations of designers. The Phantom Coupe stands as a testament to his illustrious career and his lasting influence on the design language of American automobiles.

The Chevrolet Astro I was an innovative concept car that debuted at the 1967 New York Auto Show. Its futuristic design included a very low drag coefficient, achieved through a low roofline, small frontal area, and a relatively high back. One of the most striking features was its pop-up canopy section instead of regular doors. This allowed for easier entry into the vehicle, which had an almost impossible low height of 35.5 inches. The seats would lift up with the canopy, allowing the driver and passenger to climb up into them and lower into the vehicle as the clamshell section closed.
The Astro I featured a unique, single overhead camshaft version of Chevy’s Turbo-Air 6 boxer engine, enlarged to 2.9 liters and producing 240 horsepower at 7,400 RPM. However, there’s some debate over whether this engine was ever actually installed in the Astro I, as some reports suggest it was only used in a test car and the show car featured a regular Corvair boxer motor.
Although the Astro I never went into production, it represented a significant step in automotive design and engineering. It was designed to explore the visual potential of automotive aerodynamics and now resides in the GM Heritage Center, alongside other notable concept cars like the Corvair Monza GT and Monza SS.

(EN) Senaki is a small town, but much more friendly than Samtredia. There’s even a pedestrian zone, and a new kitschy statue in front of the town hall which seems like built by a Kosovar gardening company. I stayed only shortly in Senaki and continued in that futuristic bus towards Nokalakevi, a historical excavation site with fortress. I got quite wet during the trip as it was impossible to close well the door next to me.
(DE) Senaki ist eine kleinere, aber viel freundlichere Stadt als Samtredia, bereits wieder in Mingrelien. Sogar eine Fussgängerzone gibt es, und vor dem Rathaus wurde eine derart kitschige Statue neu erstellt, dass sie von einem kosovarischen Gärtnergeschäft stammen könnte. Ich blieb allerdings nur kurz in Senaki und fuhr dann mit in diesem futuristischen Bus nach Nokalakevi, eine historische Ausgrabungsstätte und Burg. Während der Fahrt wurde ich einigermassen nass, da die Tür rechts von mir nicht so gut schloss.

The Buick Centurion was a groundbreaking concept car introduced at the 1956 General Motors Motorama Show. The Centurion featured a bubble dome for the windows and roof, which was an early concept of the modern-day sunroof. The Centurion was one of the first American cars to showcase bucket seats and headrests, and it was ahead of its time with the introduction of a rearview camera, a feature that has become standard in modern vehicles. The camera transmitted images to a screen on the dashboard, like today’s infotainment systems.

The view is a masterpiece in itself, as distant galaxies and nebulae paint the canvas of space with their cosmic brushstrokes, all rendered in varying shades of gray. The stark beauty of the monochrome palette accentuates the celestial wonders beyond.
A solitary astronaut stands before the window, their silhouette outlined against the mesmerizing cosmic tapestry. The reflection of distant stars glints in their visor, casting a spellbinding, dreamlike quality to the scene.
In this monochrome sci-fi realm, where technology and the infinite cosmos converge, the space station becomes a work of art, a testament to human ingenuity, and a window into the vast, enigmatic universe that stretches beyond our comprehension.

The centerpiece of this ethereal tableau is a massive, curved observation window, offering an unparalleled view of the cosmos. The view is a masterpiece in itself, as distant galaxies and nebulae paint the canvas of space with their cosmic brushstrokes, all rendered in varying shades of gray. The stark beauty of the monochrome palette accentuates the celestial wonders beyond.
A solitary astronaut stands before the window, their silhouette outlined against the mesmerizing cosmic tapestry. The reflection of distant stars glints in their visor, casting a spellbinding, dreamlike quality to the scene.
In this monochrome sci-fi realm, where technology and the infinite cosmos converge, the space station becomes a work of art, a testament to human ingenuity, and a window into the vast, enigmatic universe that stretches beyond our comprehension.
