Over the recent years, the rise of modernism has been introducing newer architectural movements. We are living behind the traditional building methods and steadily shifting to better and evolved mediums. It is no longer just about sustainability or art. A number of questions arise but the most important one is how can we build structure that is useful on a daily basis but also connects culture, society and science. 

Experimenting with Unusual Materials For instance, high-tech materials. They are highly complex, still experimental buit they will be further developed in the future. The goal is to use high-tech materials which in turn will make our buildings durable, easy to construct and eco-friendly. 

On the other hand, we are constantly picking up on better innovative ways. For instance, instead of concrete, steel, masonry and timber, repurposing old materials are in. New materials like soil based structures and using recycled materials like plastic not only saves and energy but they definitely also have an aesthetic appeal to them. Soon enough, we will start using these materials for main stream use. 

Is There Space For Public Domain?

The public space vs. private space debate stems up from this question. Over the years, architecture has been recognised as a collaborative concept. So now when a building is under construction, the welfare of the society is also taken into consideration. More thought is put into how the public will be benefited, i.e. open spaces; maybe there will be parks and recreational facilities built into a condominium complex. This is how the lines between the public and private will fade away and the result will be a peaceful coaxing space.

Community Driven Designs

At this day and age when a building is made, the design team includes social anthropologies and environmentalists who work together to create a sustainable, peaceful environment. In the future, we will be able to implement laws and policies and the sole purpose of its application will be to build sustainable nations and provide a better quality of life for the people.

Biophilic Architecture

This method of construction is gaining wide popularity nowadays. Biophilic architecture creates a strong bond between the nature and man-made environments. Studies show that working and residing in similar spaces made people more productive, encouraged children to study better and made hospital patients get faster recovery.

As our lives continue getting urbanised, we tend to lose our touch with nature and light. Biophilic designed structures help us to eliminate the gap between people and the nature and therefore, build a productive and sustainable habit.

“In the big picture, Architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and building fit with the way we want to live our lives.” –– Bjarke Ingels

Holistic Designs

Holistic approaches enable architects to build structures in a way that is interconnected with the larger part of the world. Not only does it benefit our mental and physical health but it has the ability to make a positive impact on our spirituality as well. The power of architecture is that the way people can be directed by it. It raises questions like, ‘does this building enrich the lives of its residents? Does it make the others want to interact with it somehow? Tranquillity, balance and the relationship with our surroundings are what holistic architecture is about. By supporting our inner and outer senses, we can improve earthly links instead detaching from it.
