Funny you should mention Lebbeus Woods -- I think his work did influence WDW's Tomorrowland makeover to a certain degree. There is a series of overhangs on top of the revamped Mission to Mars/Alien Encounter/Stitch's Escape building that are eerily similar to one of his painting in a book I have.

I don't know if we'll ever see a 'real' Tomorrowland again. The creative juices don't seem to be flowing in Glendale anymore, at least as far as Tomorrowlands go. I had an interview there about a decade ago in a misguided attempt to become an Imagineer -- my portfolio project was a revamp of WDW's Tomorrowland that took place in the future, would have been relatively cheap to build, and would have been pretty darn cool if I say to myself.

Note to future designers: Tomorrowland doesn't have to be on Earth.
