UPCOMING ARCHITECTURE TRENDS Thanks to advancements in drafting programs, material use and the ever-growing talents of architects, the next decade is set to be one filled with jaw-dropping feats of design and engineering. First up, indoor parks will begin to take over our interior spaces thanks to the design theory “wild urbanism.”The concept is about blending natural and manmade to create a new kind of public space. Next, does an invisible building sound like something out of a sci-fi movie? Indeed – buildings, cars and people have all been rendered invisible on the screen, but architecture you can’t see is about to become a reality. Using high-tech LED systems, a building’s exterior can now mimic its surroundings, making it seem as if it isn’t there. Lastly, power plants are about to get green makeovers. Architecture firm AZPA proposes buildings such as the Wedel Vattendall power plant in Germany be covered with plants, which would both beautify the structure and provide carbon dioxide absorption.
