this looks surreal.

 

Police officers in riot gear line a deceptively picturesque Biscayne Boulevard during a protest against the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) on Nov. 18 in Miami. The FTAA, being discussed by trade officials in Miami, would expand the North American Free Trade Agreement among the United States, Canada and Mexico to include all countries in the Americas. The buildings behind the police officers are set up for a carnival.

Things are "retrofitted" after the fact of the original manufacture because the old, consumer-based technology wasn't keeping up the demand. Things have to work on a day-to-day basis and you do whatever necessary to make it work. So you let go of the style and it becomes pure function. The whole visual philosophy of the film is based on this social idea.

 

The city was getting very dense. Buildings 3,000-3,500 feet high would have old, ten and twenty story buildings underneath, functioning as service accesses to the huge megastructures. Cables and generator tubes, delivering air and waste, would go up outside of the old buildings because they were still there. The street level becomes a service alley to the megastructures towering above.
