Have you ever thought about what the built environment in the future will be like? Undoubtedly, the futuristic architecture must be far more spectacular than we could imagine.Check out these 5 futuristic constructional design concepts that rightfully reflect tomorrow’s architecture, keeping in mind the aspirations of our future generations.
1. Green Buildings/Facades
Construction and projects both contribute to a significant level of carbon dioxide emissions. The climate issue has exposed the poor planning of our cities and the spaces we live in.
Fortunately, there are numerous methods to intervene in this circumstance to bring about change, whether through the materials and techniques used in each effort or geographic and social impact.
The one certainty in this scenario is that we cannot think about the future without considering “green” in all of its contemporary implications, from nature to sustainability and ecology.

There is no denying that the environment and the future are inextricably linked. Hence the Green Facades or Green Climber wraps in the buildings will rule the next decade.
2. Invisible Architecture
Invisible architecture develops its distinct appearance by focusing on techniques to reduce the physical appearance of what is being constructed. Invisible architecture, whether it’s a building, a partition or a walkway, gives the impression that nothing is there.
When an architect intends to emphasise the attributes of something else, such as the surrounding natural sights, this style is frequently used. Invisible architecture is one of the calling cards of futuristic sci-fi design, and architects across the Globe are unleashing their fullest potential to create such marvels and wonders.

Tham and Videgard Architects’ Mirrorcube – Tree hotel in Harads, Sweden, is a lightweight mirrored structure that mirrors its surroundings and the sky above, offering a concealed shelter nestled within the trees.
The ‘mirrorcube,’ which is tethered to a single tree and clad totally in mirrored glass that hangs 4 metres above the ground, reflects everything around it; the trees, the birds, the clouds, the sun, everything, rendering it absolutely invisible, causing birds to fly directly into it. To prevent this, the designers used an infrared film invisible to humans but highly visible to birds to cover the walls.
3. 3D-Printed Interiors
3D printing, also known as advanced additive manufacturing, creates solid objects from digital 3D models by layering them together. This 3D technology was developed in the 1980s and has since made its way into our daily lives, architecture, and interior design. 3D will run the future of interior designs; this concept was aptly proved by architects Benjamin Dillenburger and Michael Hansmeyer in their project “Digital Grotesque,” a conception of the world’s first 3D printed room.

The room was defined by no recurring patterns, shapes, or even frames of reference. Created with an uneven set of elaborately carved surfaces, Digital Grotesque was designed to be a livable area with a perplexing and startling effect.
4. The Natural Disaster-Proof Shelters
A house serves a shelter and a source of safety, security, progress, and success. To ensure that level of safety and security, suitable disaster management techniques must be implemented right from the conceptual stage of home design, especially in catastrophe-prone regions. The Natural Disaster-Proof Forts are an intriguing alternative to traditional living in cyclone-prone areas preventing the structure from succumbing to any mishap.
Artist Dionisio Gonzalez, designed a fantastical, futuristic fort built of iron and concrete for ‘Dauphin Island’, a tiny landmass located off the coast of Alabama in the Gulf of Mexico known for experiencing endless and fateful cyclones. The odd structures, which look like a cross between a beach home, a bunker, and a spaceship, were built keeping the Island residents in mind.

Gonzalez perfectly played the role of an urban planner, an architect and an engineer while designing the hypothetical blueprints of his futuristic fort. Though these constructions aren’t yet set to become a reality, however, they do provide a fascinating glimpse into what futuristic island residences might look like.
5. Rotating Skyscrapers
The “Dynamic buildings,” or revolving skyscrapers, will usher in a new era in design, posing a challenge to traditional architecture. In contrast to the same idea of real estate, which is at the heart of every development, Dynamic Buildings will establish the beginning of a new conception in architecture: a concept of Buildings in Motion.
The upcoming construction project of a new shape-shifting skyscraper in Dubai demonstrates that architecture, engineering, and technology have advanced to previously inconceivable proficiency levels.
The Squall Tower will rotate with the wind, while the Dynamic Tower has 80 levels that can each rotate 360 degrees. The Squall Tower is only a concept, but the Dynamic Tower is scheduled to start building soon.
The concept of vertical wind turbines inspired the Squall Tower’s designers, Turkish architects Hayri Atak, Kaan Klgda, Busra Koksal, and Kubra Turk; the skyscraper does not oppose the wind’s force; instead, it travels in tandem with it.

On the other hand, the Dynamic Tower, also known as Da Vinci Tower, designed/proposed by David Fisher, founder of Dynamic Architecture Group, in 2006, has officially been approved. Each of the building’s 80 levels rotates independently. They are solidly attached to a concrete core and may rotate 360 degrees in any direction. The goal is to present residents with a 360-degree panorama of Dubai.
The unique aspect of this concept is that each tenant owns the entire floor and has complete control over the rotation direction and speed, which is activated via voice command. Residents will also have access to a car elevator, allowing them to raise their vehicles and park them near their apartments.
Though we are not sure if the Dynamic Tower will ever actually come to fruition (it was scheduled to start its construction in 2010), however, it’ll unquestionably be a visual feast.
Besides the innovation in futuristic architectural designs, the inception of modern, advanced technology in the construction and infrastructure industry has also facilitated the creation of several modern facade materials, such as Natural Stone, Ceramics, Aluminium/Metal composite panels, and more. ACP sheets are lightweight, durable, easy maintenance, cost-effective materials with a plethora of added advantages that strengthen and make your space trendy.
