@Matt: The one with the Library of the future seems to be from an episode on sattelite communication. Would it be possible to see the whole scan?

Any idea where one could find an overview of the work of Spilhaus. The color snippets in this article seem to be the only ones I can find. Did you scan them from the newspaper or is there any other source?

Michael F ->well, as a person who have “seen” both Soviet and the Old States paleofuture (both are remarkably similar, with a couple of funny exceptions), the domes are firmly in the “didn’t do the research idiotic pop cult imagery” territory
Onion domes belong to religious Chrisrian architecture – The heavily secular Soviet society wouldn’t use them just for lolz. I would except a token red star on top. : )

Des Moines, Iowa is another city with a skywalk system downtown. It is around 4 miles long: http://www.seedesmoines.com/Downtown_Skywalks%20%20Parking.pdf
