Futuristic Buildings

The home is a place of refuge and warmth. It provides the security and privacy where people can retreat to after a long day of work or play. Throughout history, these buildings have adapted to meet the needs of people and as we innovate and create our imaginations, the possibilities of the future are endless.

 

Susceptibility: Buildings serve several needs of society – primarily as shelter from the elements, a physical division to facilitate privacy and a station to live and work. This need for protection has been rudimentary since time immemorial and as natural disasters become more prevalent, architects and engineers around the world have been trying to design hardier buildings.

 

Smashing designs: The grandious of a home, often a symbol associated with wealth and prosperity have thus become canvasses of artistic expression.

 

Sustainability: In addition, with better education and awareness of global impacts, more people are looking towards keping their homes sustainable. Gone are the days when sustainability came at a hefty price as economies of scale have brought prices down to equitable levels. 

Space: Urbanisation has brought troves of people to congregate in the city. This change in demographics has spurred urban development planners to source out other venues to provide viable housing options for people. One option that is being considered are the formation of underwater residences. This concept being relatively unexplored pose great potential as land resources become limited. 

 

Speed: With technological advancement, our tools have become smarter to accomodate the needs of people. Better transportation networks have allowed prefabrication technology to be increasingly used, allowing skyscrapers and large structures to be built in the blink of an eye.
