What will future architecture look like? “ What will architecture look like in the future? Will people live in other planets? Or maybe live in underground or under the ocean? There are so many imaginations coming out of my mind. I always interesting in architecture, because I love the line and space of the building that created by architects. Following are several points that I think the building will look like in the next 10-20 years.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Background The London-based group-Archigram pushes the relationship between culture and science closer together, and thus the world’s architecture community has immediate impacts. The importance of their works to the international community is already well known in this world. Their design of home construction and urban planning has radical definitions,
as well as their designs have more aesthetic than the function. For instance, the project –The Walking City by Ron Herron in 1964, he design an architecture that looks like robot and it can move. They not only impacted the British art of the 1960s also have great impact in Europe, Japan and the U.S. avant-garde architecture.

Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
� Environment Because of the invention of Internet that makes people learn new thing easily, I think ever y different cultures in the world will connect closer. So the negative space becomes popular in the western. Designer will need to consider about how to make natural scene becomes part of the design. For example, there is a Japanese Architect who designs a church that uses light to create the symbolCross of Christianity.
Shape In my point of view, nowadays people will create more and more organic shapes house, because they are tired about geometric shapes and organic shape could be more cor porate with environment. Such as Zaha Hadid who is an architect who consistently pushes the boundaries of architecture and urban design. She always use organic shapes in her design.
Green Because earth becomes weaker and weaker day by day, I think people will need to pay attention to how to protect environment when they build. The green building will have renewable energy heating system, net zero energy building (a str ucture that produces as much energy as it consumes). They will use natural and non-toxic building materials, and then devices capable of measuring the energy and water used by occupants, solar panels and solar hot water systems generating power for the households. Most important they can do recycle by themselves.

Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
”
Function I noticed that now people want their items to be smaller and functional. In other words, one item could do almost everything. In the future, architecture will not only be for living, it will be an artwork, and an energy saver…etc. Such as a building that called Coop
Himmelblau Unveils Energy Positive Office will be built the streamline form shape to save wind power. Also, I guess that the space will be extremely small. This kind of High-density housing could give more space to raise more people in the world.

Finally, I think my book will give you the self-imagined space of architecture.
