I was thinking, we now know more about effects of various chemicals on the body. And probably fire regulation has been updated too. A lot of this material was quite new then and of course there was a lot of experimentation, and some things that ended up as "dead ends". What would a modern Futuro look like?

In the birth country of Futuro, the craze has been the opposite for at least a decade: all natural and old fashioned materials. Log houses, maybe even stone foundation, natural circulation, clay/chalk wall finishing, tar paper, shredded newspaper + flax insulation. No glue or plastics anywhere. Some of this is first hand experience.

I think one could build a modern and retro futuro-like thing with enough cleverness. Maybe from some wicker style material? The rain proofing is a problem.
