Neofuturist

In the late 1970s, World Shelters founder Bruce LeBel studied with Buckminster Fuller, the renowned neofuturist architect.

The original neofuturist structure includes a winged, thin shell roof and fluid, open design, which the architect hoped would evoke the sensation of flight.

Within Vaporwave, and other artists' expressions of a neofuturist aesthetic, there once was a certain ‘meta’ appreciation to be found. Vaporwave reflected upon its own construction.

Building on the works of John Naisbitt (1982) and Alvin Toffler (1970), neofuturists imbue novel technologies with an almost mystical quality, revealed in their numerous incantations supporting technological solutions to political problems.
