Gary Chang, a Hong Kong architect, lives in a tiny apartment (344 square foot), but thanks to accordion-like wall units, he can create at least 24 different room configurations – kitchen, library, laundry room, dressing room, a lounge with a hammock, an enclosed dining area and even a wet bar…
What will the world look like in the future? Will we retreat to floating homes and cities because of rising water levels? Will we live under the ground due to the polluted environment? Or we just simply go on as we are now?
But one thing is for sure: As the world increasingly focuses on sustainable initiatives, green architecture is a booming industry. Everything from single-family residences to giant 1.2-million-square-foot complexes complete with giant skyscrapers is getting the green treatment, and the innovation that is going into these plans is more complex than ever.
In this post, we will present you with 11 Futuristic Eco Building. I know some of them have no possibility of ever being constructed (at least for now). However, it is still a pleasure to see the forward-thinking behind those designs which the world has never seen before.
Lilypad Floating Ecopolis by Vincent Callebaut Architects [link]
Designed for “ecological refugees” in the year 2100, the Lilypad is an amphibious, self-sufficient city. The design can accommodate 50,000 people along with the plants and animals they need to survive. The lower portion of the craft features a submerged lagoon which purifies rainwater to provide fresh water for the inhabitants of the Lilypad.
One year ago, we mentioned a Fantastic Cardboard Office in Amsterdam. Today we will introduce you another incredible building – bottle house. This house was mostly made from bottles with some glue mixture, such as wall, column. And it also has a nice bottle garden. Not sure is it stable or solid, but it is really awesome to build a house like that and I want to see it in real.
An installation of an upside down house in Trassenheide Germany was opened to the public recently and was designed by Polish partners Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk for the Edutainment exhibition company.
The creators say they “didn’t built the house for a reason, they just wanted to do something different.”
You might remember there was another upside down house created by a Polish businessman and philanthropist named Daniel Czapiewski, and is located in Poland in the tiny village of Szymbark. But the one in this blog is different! It is not only the exterior is upside down, but every single room in the house and also the furniture.
