I like the idea of cities that are amphibious. Visionary architect Glen Small's flying buildings look like large winged jellyfish that propel through space. I see cities that migrate. Moving from underwater to land, perhaps even 'exoterra' for a season. One of the most tedious and limiting aspects of building today is proper footings. (earthqukes, slides, etc) Even with nan, some of that will still apply, unless we find a way to mobilize our structures and allow them to move through water, mud and other matter, and to change with the weather patterns.
