If energy is limitless, the current view of glass towers wasting energy become obselete. In short, burn the HVAC and lighting and rather, concentrate to minimize material use.

So the glass tower is reborn as a saviour of humanity, using an abundant sorce of material, glass, which due to the almost limitless nature of sand, and its unlimited recyclability, it becomes the material of choice.
Due to the total immersion of the augmentation technology, we dont really need customisable facades and more rely on each person's augmented vision. So facades like the one on the right, however the idea that glass could become opaque, and used as a digital wall is very likely in interior fitouts, as when in your own space, augments become obsolete as you can customise your own space easily, especially through digital means.

So the idea that internal walls would be glass that can be changed through digital means is quite posible, however the exterior facades of buildings are now more changed by peoples augments, and therefor, the real fabric of the city become a blank canvas to paint your own persona on a city.

A city-wide canvas for digital artists to paint, for people to download, for people to experience. So in creating a blank canvas of a city to save material resources and rather rely on individual manipulation of the city through digital means create a market for digital artists and designers alike to sell there vision of a city, whether it be limited to a building, a street, or the city as a whole.
How amazing would a city like that be?
