Building tomorrow

Urban lifestyle creates threat to the environment by using more resources and increasing green house effect. Unfortunately, nowadays building are mostly designed to accommodate people, purely functional as a building, without any consideration to promoting sustainability.
In order to sustain our environment and to reduce levels of pollution building design has to re-thought and the new, improved model of building design has to evolve.

The article above introduces Lars Lerup's theory of how the traditional way buildings affect our lives needs to be outmoded. Lerup suggests using new building materials to achieve more fluid structure and strongly states the the role of architect and architecture has to be re-thought.

One example of the new way of thinking is integrating life like bacterial elements that replicate natural processes. The material is said to be very flexible and can be printed suing desktop 3D printers. and installed into building façades. Protocells, which are most effective in water, could help buildings perform better in wet conditions.
In Britain, the first algaeponics unit on top of the School of Architecture, Design and Construction is installed, generating a sustainable oil, used as fuel.

Moreover, people are moving away from the fixed idea of building construction material being imported from somewhere else and they are exploring more and more options to use already available materials, reducing overall building's footprint.

The proposals and innovative ideas may seem as something very different and futuristic and unachievable, but we are not to eliminate any ideas at this stage.
Starting by rethinking the nature of building fabrics, we are slowly moving towards a better response to climate change.A flexible approach to architectural design will make us think more about sustainability and biodiversity.
