The Tomorrow War Looks Good Today

One of the best parts of video-game classic Mass Effect was the ability to take your ship to different planets throughout the galaxy, and actually touch down, get out and explore the places.

Another Pereira building, the UC Irvine Library, formed a stark-looking backdrop for a riot in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. He designed over 400 major buildings, which helped shape other architects' views of the futuristic. Image by Kafka4Prez
