BoingBoing’s writer described this piece as “atompunk”, which strikes me as a nice word for describing the cold war slant on what was still very raypunk-influenced design. Labels aside though, it’s a…

"The Adventures of Captain Proton" @ Memory Alpha →
The “Star Trek” wiki’s guide to one of the best features in “Star Trek: Voyager”, namely Lieutenant Paris’ raypunk holodeck adventure. Handy ‘screencaps’ do feature!
"Star Trek: Voyager" screenshots gallery →
As far as I’m aware all of these screenshots were captured by or for Memory Alpha. I have collected only the shots of Starfleet buildings and Captain Proton adventures, as there’s an extraordinarily inspirational range of creativity in these designs.

Jacque Fresco’s futuristic plot in Florida is, surprisingly, up for sale! My thanks to Deebrane for pointing this out. Could be a handy link if any Extropian-thinking people out there happen to be sat on a large pile of FL cash.

WatchGary Tonge’s Vision Afar showreel
Some nifty AfterEffects animated editing of his work and a welcome slideshow of Mr. Tonge’s work, dealing almost exclusively with space-themed panoramas. His is a more conventional view of the world of tomorrow - perhaps a more achievable one, however there’s still a lot to be inspired by.
