report : buildings in 2050
DESCRIPTION
The study, undertaken by Arup’s Foresight + Innovation team, foresees that structures will be fully integrated into the fabric of the city, responsive to changes in the external environment, and designed for continuous adaptability, according to real-time needs and demands of its users. This forward-thinking report is illustrated with a series of artist’s impressions, to demonstrate how the futuristic components - such as photovoltaic surfaces and algae producing bio-fuel pods - can theoretically enable buildings to produce food, energy and resources.TRANSCRIPT
