Readability is a property that an architecture has. It represents the time and reflects the development of society, its culture, history, aspirations and dreams. Architecture is created by people and for people. All events leave their mark on the architecture. But there are projects that take us far ahead, reflecting futurism. Such architecture waits in the wings on paper before being embodied in forms and being reborn from an idea into a building.
Search for new ideas
The main concept of the projects of the future is economy, environmental friendliness and ergonomics. Every year, building materials are being improved, which cannot but affect the quality of new buildings. An architect is an artist who paints an urban landscape. What will he be like? What surprises will the architecture of the future bring to man? The search for new ideas never stops. Constructors, designers, technologists work together on projects. To processbiologists have already joined.
Many are attracted by the biomorphism of architectural forms, imitating natural nature. The big breakthrough was the possibility of computer-aided design. Thanks to the use of innovative computer technologies, the architecture of the future promises to be unique, thought out to the smallest detail and striking even the most sophisticated minds of mankind.
Biomorphism is gaining momentum, embodied in new masterpieces. Modern construction technologies make such buildings look like living creations with intricate curves in the structures. Thanks to a technological breakthrough, the architecture of the future is buildings of any geometric shape. Such buildings will be filled with sensors that detect the slightest climate change and, accordingly, trigger a response system.
Reality and fantasy
Projects such as the Suite Vollard tower represent dynamic architecture. Of course, much has already been put into practice, striking even now the majority of people. However, this is only the beginning. If you look into the UAE, you really understand that humanity still decided to take a chance and make the Biblical Tower of Babel a reality.
In principle, the architecture of the future is always first described by science fiction writers. It is they who are trying to look into the beautiful far away, drawing fantastic pictures on the pages of their works. Science fiction has a special place in this area. For example, the book by Stanislav Lem is of great interest."Futurological Congress". It not only describes gigantic skyscraper cities, but also presents the concept of total virtualization of our reality in the form of a matrix. More than once, humanity has witnessed the implementation of technologies that were described much earlier in the works of science fiction writers.
From ancient pyramids to modern times
At one time they built seriously and for millennia. An example is the Egyptian pyramids. Already in the Middle Ages, buildings were designed for centuries-old service. The service life of modern structures ranges from 50-100 years. According to the new concept, especially the Western one (although, most likely, the architecture of the future in Russia will not differ much from foreign ones), the building's service life is calculated in advance. The project initially includes technologies for installation, dismantling and disposal of the structure. The fact is that modern houses become morally obsolete before their destruction and can no longer meet their functional purpose.
In general, the architecture of the future, the best projects of which amaze the imagination, will be aimed at functionality and harmony. The cost of energy and labor resources will force more renovations and less demolition in the future. Architectural masterpieces will be preserved, but most likely they will be modified.
Update
The world is moving towards globalization. It is not a fact that this is good, but humanity cannot avoid this process. If we imagine that everything will develop in a peaceful stream, then humanity will come to understandthe importance of sustainable use of earth's resources, total gardening and the development of environmental technologies.
Many of the projects already on display today, showing us how incredible the architecture of the future can be brought to life, involve the use of unified building materials, designers, reminiscent of Lego. The trend of using glass with variable transparency is gaining momentum. Already widely used sensors that can make the house "smart". The question of the importance of space optimization has already been raised today.
The architecture of the future will have less pretentiousness. Modern construction trends are focused not only on functionality and optimization, but also great attention is paid to hybridization. Already today it is important to create a harmonious natural exterior. We are expecting a powerful development of landscape design, landscaping of territories integrated into urban conditions of farms and gardens. Transport will also be subject to significant changes.
Technology
Today, modern architecture of the present and future is aimed at using computer technologies that allow sending a computer model to production and using it, bypassing intermediate stages, to produce construction details. This will ensure that the construction is clean and very fast. Technology will make it possible to make the architecture more durable, but at the same time light, ephemeral. Facadebuildings will be able to change appearance: window, masonry, etc. In other words, it will be able to visualize the real world or simulate the desired picture.
Humanity has already faced the need for maximum optimization of space: urban, personal, work and leisure. Gradually, urban industry is transformed into a more compact and space-dissolved industry. It will be environmentally friendly, also thanks to the development of 3D printing.
Signs
In general, the list of signs of the architecture of the future can be as follows:
- Lack of subordination to the availability of certain resources and focus on finding the most comfortable places of resettlement, including working, recreational and leisure space, as well as a sports zone.
- Hybridization, space optimization with efficient connection to telecommunication systems.
- Technological equipment of houses will change dramatically towards saving resources and equipping with smart sensors.
- Houses will turn from consumers into energy suppliers.
- Efficiency of water consumption will increase due to the reverse cycle.
- Houses will be equipped with a system of protective filters against the harmful effects of the environment and to maintain the desired balance of atmospheric pressure.
- Building materials will be so advanced that they will allow massive cities to be built above ground and even underwater.
- Cities of the future allow architecture to connect with pedestrian streets and aerialhighway.
- Concrete reinforcement will be replaced with carbon nanotubes made of cement composite, which means buildings will become 16 times stronger.
- Steel cables will be replaced with diamond ropes capable of withstanding 100 times the load.
Attitude towards real estate
Perhaps people of the future will become more comfortable with their housing, which will lead to the development of renting. Circumstances of life will change so rapidly that there will be a need for frequent housing changes. It is also possible that private houses will belong to a few, because land is an irreplaceable resource. Most likely, this will be the privilege of the rich. However, we'll wait and see…
Future Projects
It is worth noting that buildings that are not only able to save energy resources, but also occupy a small area, can be classified as economical. This is possible in the implementation of the construction of skyscrapers. These projects aim to build up. Already today there are skyscrapers reaching four kilometers in height. Modern architecture, of course, amazes with its scope and possibilities. One problem can stand in the way - financial. For the realization of many ideas requires huge funds.
Of great interest are projects such as sky cities, cities underground, water, space platforms, houses that can accommodate the population of an entire city in the event of a global catastrophe, and many other developments. In general, we can say that with a positive development of events, humanity in the future is waiting fora fantastic and comfortable life that will become the norm for most.
