Nick Luscombe concludes his personal journey through music and architecture, with a look at past and present visions of the future, including tracks from Yuri Suzuki, Alexandre Desplat and Abdullah Ibrahim. We hear the music choice of architect Kengo Kuma and a brand new work from Scanner, inspired by Kuma's Yudo Pavilion.
