“To create, one must first question everything.”
-Eileen Gray
High-tech urban centers in the middle of the desert, floating cities, and more: these mega architecture concepts seek to redefine the industry. The Future Of Architecture: As wonderful as it sounds in the expanding cities and towns, with growing technological advancements in the real and virtual world today. We can see a new and emerging face of architecture with its marvels in the world every new day. Beginning from the Industrial Revolution to the modern-day world scenario, the world has seen immense growth and technological advancements in this field, opening new possibilities in the field.
Be it in experimenting with our creativity in the virtual world of the metaverse to the integration of artificial intelligence in the architecture and expression of conception which are open-ended and a figment of the imagination.
The size has not been a matter of concern lately with new construction techniques, which can be seen in Downtown Circle by ZNera Space, The Line by Morphosis, or Telosa by BIG which showcases the new future of architecture.
- Towards New Possibilities Of Science And Practicality
Building Ocean Ambitions
There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners”.
As famously quoted by Antonio Gaudi.
(https://www.mchmaster.com/news/best-architecture-quotes/)
In a shift from the conventional glass and concrete world of architecture,
a staggering start-up that wants people to live not just by the ocean but in the middle of an ocean that is free of obstruction, liveliness, and free of unhealthy environments in a free independent sea pod. With a whole living unit and habitable space, consisting of the master bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and living room (not to mention optional extras of water patios and landing pads). The outer body is made up of fiberglass, offering a size of 73 square meters. The company’s CEO Grant Romundt, claims that building three pods every day is an amazing experience to live in and a new way of experiencing the future of architecture.
- Metaverse And The Future
The idea of metaverse was conceptualized long ago in 1992, by Neal Stephenson in his science fiction novel called “Snow Crash”. Representing a concept of the digital world along with the future of arch. Games like Second Life and Roblox, in which the metaverse had been conceptualized create a virtual environment for the players. And, as the conceptualized future of architecture, the metaverse tells us about the significance of fulfillment of imaginative projects of the metaverse, architects’ role can be seen over here.
And also the shift in the conventional way of visualizing architecture.
With a new shift in the ultimate goal of architecture, two terms can be coined in the coming future which is the meta architect. With hands-on professional architecture education, a whole set of skills for 3D modeling with content design, character design, and content creation would be some skills set needed to be a meta architect and envision the future of architecture. The very first need for the designing and the presence of any space in the virtual world is its reason, the reason serves the fundamental elements of a virtual world.
ILLUSORR, is a design-oriented metaverse that uses the original and virtual worlds to create a real environment.
- Revolution in Civilisation
An urban area planned by the Saudi Arabian government, planned in an area of a total of 26,500 square kilometers includes, a floating industrial complex, global trade hub, and tourist resorts all powered by renewable energy sources.
Neom
The brightest and most innovative minds in architecture, and engineering make ideas into an impossible reality on grounds. A quality of life, away from all the pollution and traffic, the focus is to create a healthy lifestyle.
A city where a sustainable transport system would be installed with zero waiting time. Taking people to a new era of future and architecture in itself. The project serves as a broad platform for international investment. As the name itself suggests the line, has a stretch of 170 KM long and 200 M wide creating a long vertical stretch of development into a new future and revolutionary architectural marvel.
- Artificial Intelligence and Architecture
As the power of artificial intelligence is something which the world is newly awakened to, measured to be an immense take on architecture as well.
Exploring the future of architecture with augmented reality software, one can now see and indulge in the historical recreations of old and heritage buildings like the one recently released, Vision Proo glasses.
The vision and possibilities of artificial intelligence which has been seen in sci-fi movies are telling people about the emerging possibilities and future of architecture.
With this technology at hand, architects can optimize designs for sustainability and cost-efficiency and come up with never-before-seen design solutions.
Though having both sides of the audience as is the case in every aspect of life, AI is indeed a powerful tool in developing and conceptualizing new ideas.
With intellectual power, blending with artificial intelligence would certainly produce a magnificent output.
While exploring the future of architecture, people all around the world are immensely empowered with the new-age technological aspect and the possibility of reaching an unmatched level.
In conclusion, the future of architecture is rapidly evolving, and AI is playing an increasingly important role in shaping that future. While these technological advances present many opportunities for architects, it’s important to approach them with caution and use them responsibly and ethically.
