These sci-fi architecture examples range from cloud-shaped structures to futuristic interiors that are inspired by conceptual imagery.
Embracing futuristic design ideals, these sci-fi architecture examples are the opposite of traditional and are always pushing boundaries with their complex and sophisticated designs. These amazing structures are not only visually striking but are designed using some of the world's most sophisticated technological inventions.
Standouts from the list include Yuliyan Mikov's Museum of Architecture concept. This project looks to nature for its visual inspiration and employs complex technology to create its organically shaped structural form. The end result is a dreamlike and sculptural design and is a piece many hope will be fully realized and built in the coming future.
