The Shifting Landscape of Future Architecture-Sheet1

The future of architecture is difficult to predict. It might be good or bad, but it will cause some differences in society. However, there is a difference between change and evolution. If architecture evolves in the future, it is good, but if it changes, it might be challenging. The future of architecture is fully based on technologies and AI, and the reality is that this is the beginning of the future of architecture. There will be merits and demerits because the future of a community depends upon the future of architecture. A good society will determine an individual’s life. For a good society, a beautiful community should be created, which will happen only through means of a common space to gather in any circumstances. A space can affect a human brain psychologically, as well as the colors. The future of architecture should be something that evolves humanity as well.

Future Evolution 

Everything changes with time. The more time it takes to evolve, the more useful it will be. The sudden swiftness of new software and designs will only affect the architects and engineers. They should have some time to cope with the trends of architecture. As this period is just the beginning of the future of architecture, various ideas have emerged and are still fully occupied by the system. Let’s visualize some of the concepts that are under process, which might make the finest evolution in the future of architecture:

1. Sustainable architecture

What if, one day, everyone in the world wakes up viewing trees and greenery, just like in the fields of villages, in front of the streets and communities on a bigger scale along with the design? Wouldn’t that be a spectacular view?

2. Vertical city

Suddenly, there was enormous space for house planning allotted for people who are homeless, who will live their daily lives on platforms and walkways. This will make an impact not only in the future of architecture but also in the future of the economy.

3. Urbanization

The day there is no bridge between the village and the city because everything seems the same with the developments. It’ll be great if this happens and people don’t need to leave their hometowns.

4. Technologies

From sleepless nights of designing a plan or a 3D model to inputting the ideas and criteria to the AI for the most advanced and rapid results for construction, which usually will take at least a year for completion.

Dramatic Change

Everything has two sides, which should be visualized before anything wrong happens. The future of architecture, as mentioned in the future evolution, what if it leads to a tragic drama climax that no one in the world ever imagined? Some people welcome technologies and stuff, but what about the people who are still reading a book and writing and manually drafting on butter sheets with all the amazing ideas they ever had? They cannot implement them on the screen with software that has 1000+ commands and videos just to learn, wasting hours just to express the idea to the world,As this is the beginning of a new era, AI has covered almost everything from BIM, as the BIM did for AUTOCAD, and even in today’s world, some people are following the traditional way of presentation. Who asked for the models and details for an idea? Did the client ask? No. As technologies evolve, there creates a sudden urge to change everything as much as it can. Not every field requires the change. The curiosity of creating a space and planning a space, choosing color takes over how all these can be presented in high-quality methods. The client will look at the photos and only question and believe those who design, not the software. This software can be something that visualizes the minds of architects and designers easily. Such change will be welcome, and it will manage time as well.

The new trends in architecture can be a nightmare for some societies that never thought of a future. For example, street vendors, flower shops, small stores, and daily wagers’ lives will be a major question mark because people with enough money will customize the change and they will manage to evolve as well. But what about the people on the other side? What about their future? The future of architecture might be costly, and competitive, and people will be more aesthetic than traditional, and there will be tension every time.

Conclusion

The future of architecture affects everything in the world directly and indirectly. There should be awareness among the people about the new trends before they are implemented in real life because the reality will be different from what we visualize. So, everyone should be ready for everything in the world every day. From everyone’s perspective, the future will be warmer and more welcoming than the past and the present. Hope the future of architecture will be more friendly and beautiful.
