Syd Mead . 1969 . Commissioned by the Alcoa Aluminum Corporation to produce illustrations for some major US mags like ‘ Time ‘ . This was a ” high density cliff community ” idea envisioning aluminium ( aluminum ) use in urban infrastructure .

I wonder what features here were supposed to be aluminum, exactly? Like for the facades and balconies? I can’t imagine you’d be using it much for any load bearing parts of these structures

Maybe they were really hyping aluminum wiring, it was still legal in 1969
