Epcot, Walt Disney World Resort
Walt was a man of great vision but just as it was getting really interesting he went and died and all that is left of his Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow is a fabulous futuristic monorail and geodesic dome.
Step further onto the site and the dream fades and full-on plastic country recreations with tourist shops and thematic booze & food outlets abound with little shade and 80s shopping mall architecture in between. Dame Judy Dench was on the audio that guided us through time and space aka the history of communication but it was not enough to lift us out of the mire of corporate blandness and a sense of lost hope.
