I think it's the limit of a particular Silicon Valley nerd's aesthetic. "Put a national park on top of a big tech building in a glass bubble". End of thought. That's how you merge self-sufficiency with tech, apparently.
Any approximate reality is probably less identifiable. If there are productive windows, they look in on green and green alone. Just green blocks contrasted with gray.
I think it's that and was also especially born out of the idea of mass appeal (i.e. not all people like all color but most people are at worst ambivalent on plain white walls and minimalist styles). I would hope any eco future would likely see an integration of diverse plant life into specific zones paired with vertical living spaces and thoroughfares. There's a lot of interesting permaculture research now and it's nice to see attempts at replicating that in a larger scale in the future.
Nah I got that, it's just that most future tech is always either apple store aesthetic or dark gray minimalist.
No doubt.
