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.
