“This is an uncle with a beard. This is a house with a pipe. Well, what is it is that? Incomprehensible, wonderful … “Today, uncles with a beard are rebuilding house with a pipe. And they call their creations not “byakoy – temper bitters, and – the houses of the future. Minimalism This is the first commandment of futurological architects. The second is functionality. One of lovers of these principles – Luigi Colani – famous designer cars and trucks. Only a bit of a nudge unshifted into cars, Kolani built his house. 
Photo from open source “I don’t think small houses are better. Here small and stuffed with technology is another matter “, – declares designer. In his house with the characteristic name “Rotor” from the general functionality, not a single millimeter took refuge. In size “Rotor” slightly larger than the garage, its area is only 36 square meters. m. The designer decided save on corridors and other underutilized items housing. And squeezed all the necessary furniture into a rotating cylinder in the middle of a single room. It fit both the bedroom and the kitchen, and the bathroom (owners of the Khrushchev – think about it)! All elements of decor Kolani’s houses echo the softness of the shapes of his cars. However, smoothness lines – generally a trend both in architecture and in internal design houses of the future. And “Rotor” can be expanded by adding to it one is the same “house”. No wonder another principle of architecture tomorrow – mobility. House Simplification Ideas Not From the ceiling. Earth’s population is growing menacingly, natural resources are depleted at the same rate. And then there’s this trendy theme environmental friendliness! – Big houses are vulgar. To demonstrate thus his solvency is a bad form, – considers British architect Richard Hordan.

Photo from open sources for efficient use of space Richard was inspired by airplanes. His house is a tiny cube with side three meters. But in its compactness and efficiency it looks like a swiss knife. All furniture and appliances are built-in. To check how popular these cubes are, entrepreneurial architect placed them on the territory of Munich University of Technology, and began to take students. Last I liked the houses: students are simple people. Cost-effectiveness Today, houses of the future are being built with tools a computer. This reduces the risk of error. It happens like this. First a module is being made (something like a Kolani Rotor room). AND already from the finished modules a large “multi-apartment” house is being built. it halves construction time. In addition, the entire structure is often made from recyclable materials – durable and inexpensively. Architect Steve Cyrene, for example, believes the future is for cellophane. So he built himself a house out of plastic bottles. Recycled, of course. His apartments are a few blocks from transparent plastic. You can choose your own equipment such a house, rebuild and adjust the modules. Power lines such a house does not need – it is powered by the sun. At this night the house shining like a Santa Claus hut on Christmas day: LEDs, storing solar energy, located here everywhere. Task houses of the future – save energy, so they themselves can decide when to heat a particular room, and when, by opening windows naturally ventilate. For example, on the roof of the house Michelle Kaufmann’s designers have new galvanic batteries which accumulate solar energy. When will they be stocked special sensors, they will be able to calculate the necessary the amount of electricity for a particular house themselves. They will decide what is more profitable at the moment – to buy energy, or work it out yourself. And if the electricity is in in excess – the house itself will sell it to the side. “House on the Volga” – such a romantic name was given by Russian designers Peter A Kostelov, Alexey Lyalin, Andrey Tolstoy and Vladimir Kostelov a large warehouse with drawers. However, this, of course, is only deceptive appearance. The inner world of “House on the Volga” is much richer: it is trimmed a tree of various species, cork, furnished with greenery. Modestly and with tasteful.

Needless to say a very Russian embodiment of the principles of profitability and environmental friendliness. Mobile Hotel Concept called Drop Eco Otel was invented by the creative group In-Tenda, and brought to life Urban Square studio in the project of a mobile eco-hotel. is he is a one-room capsule that you can “landing” in any corner of the Earth, even the wildest. For example, on rocky shore or wooded mountains.

Electronic housekeepers Here it is – true principle of the future. Futurologists promise robots soon appear in every home, taking charge of housekeeping. At least least for “them” – for the happy citizens of post-industrial developed countries. So, the houses of the future will be practically alive – they have eyes, ears and even the brain will appear. Brian Conti, programmer from Seattle, such a house has already been created. The housekeeper in it works electronic module with the royal name Cleopatra. She is responsible for comfort and security. She is practically a member of the family: Cleopatra has own face and voice. You can chat with her through the screen. monitor. This is the first generation of computers that will manage houses of the future. 
Photo from open source To see the work of the housekeeper in action, just give her a command out loud: light a fireplace, call today’s number or turn on music in the living room. To govern “Cleopatra” can be using a special bracelet with electronic a microchip that every member of the family has. But Cleo looks after the house not only with the help of radio signals. In her The system has built-in motion detectors, light and caller ID. For example, when a family goes to bed, the electronic housekeeper herself set an alarm and turn off the light. Brian Conti’s goal is to teach her full independence so that she herself decides what to do, predicting the desires of people. One thing is not clear – how soon “Cleopatra” take over the Conti family? Microsoft programmers also did not hit the dirt in the face. And although their electronic housekeeper does not such a noble name – her name is just Grace – she represents not just one computer, but a whole network of devices hosted by the whole house. Grace is not visible, but she is always there. Guys program from Microsoft can project images onto the walls of any room. And in the future, all the walls, as they promise, will be made of LEDs, as in New York Times Square. And Grace will be able to project onto the walls anything: from standard wallpapers to movies from the Internet. And also You can choose a special mode for guests. Say in Grandma mode the system will project onto your walls, table and ceiling her favorite photographs with grandchildren, paintings or antique clock. And Grace may make dinner. Rather, to help the hostess in this difficult matter, suggesting some recipes from the database. They will appear right on the table. “Knead the dough,” says Grace. Developers programs hope it makes your life easier. Well, if you are not too experienced housewife. Miracle Trees This Spring a garden of huge steel structures appeared in Singapore. Each of such “giant trees” – a separate bioclimatic station, generating solar energy supplying air currents and accumulating rainwater. The real ones grow on each flowers.

The urban oasis covers an area of about 1 square. km, in the bay on south of the island, where a unique living museum of world flora and fauna. The mechanical forest consists of 18 supertrees from 25 height up to 50 m. In addition to the accumulation of solar energy and water, they are branched “crowns” also play the role of temperature regulators, absorbing and scattering hot air. 11 trees are equipped with solar photovoltaic systems that, by generating electricity, provide lighting and water two mega-oranges built in the shape of orchids. Here is a grandiose collection of plants – 220 thousand copies brought from all over the world. Each green pavilion could accommodate four football fields, and their horticultural waste feeds a massive steam turbine, helping to maintain the necessary microclimate inside greenhouses. Among other things, the tallest trees are connected by bridges, allowing passersby to stroll at a bird’s eye view. The Super Trees project is part of a program to modernize the new city center. Its purpose is to illustrate the viability of autonomous artificial biosystems designed to resist both climatic changes in nature and harmful effects on her person. Living furniture Here, for example, is a mirror in the bathroom. Right on it can broadcast news of the day, favorite series or just good music. A shopping list can be made right on the door the refrigerator. The data will be immediately transferred to the online store, and purchases will deliver right to your door. Thanks to special Labels with chips, the refrigerator will be able to monitor itself for a deadline shelf life of products. And if necessary – he will send the order to score.

But the cocoon is also directly connected to the Internet. Goodbye, laptop on the pillow! Wilkinson House A certain client-music lover proposed to architect Robert Harvey Oshats to build a forest for him a house in Portland, not just downtime, but a musical one. He wanted the building became the architectural embodiment of music. In 2004, Oshac introduced a snail house, an example of environmental friendliness and softness of forms.

Not very deep – from 6 to 18 m, somewhere in the area of coral reefs with their myriad of fish – and away from heavy storms. The project is called “H2 Home”, and US Submarines, which specializes in the production of private submarines, one copy is not going to be limited. She wants to build entire villages under water.

Фото изopen source This giant will change shape every second. By According to the architect, such a design perfectly reflects modern life: each apartment will be able to rotate 360 degrees and rotate separately from others. Speed adjusts itself owner. To get inside, tenants will be able to use an elevator that runs exactly in the center of the building, and then gently go out on your revolving floor. But if you want to live there – prepare $ 30 million: this is the approximate price of one apartment. But no electricity bills – between floors installed wind generators. On 80 floors, 79 are recruited – not a house, but a whole power plant! As the developers assure, the excess electricity can even be sold to neighbors. By the way, almost the same skyscraper, according to Fisher, was going to be built and in Moscow. So far, however, the miracle house has not yet been built, and when will happen – is unknown. And what about Russia? – futuristic there are several trends. This is bionics, environmental friendliness, rapprochement with nature, constructivism and functionality. Of course, the West in this plan is much more progressive. Of course, it’s more complicated for us, -said the interior designer, decorator Ksenia Yasvina. -For example, bionics. That is, by definition, these are natural forms. Often this principle is applied in furniture, repeating the lines of trees, leaves, flowers, this is the absence of sharp corners in the interior. Highly a prominent representative of bionics in architecture was Antonio Gaudi. Of the modern – a well-known designer in Mexico, an architect and a large original Javier Senosian with his Nautilus house. For the love of natural forms and images are called “bioorganic” an architect. Or the villa of Alexander de Betac. Or the famous house Wilkinson Robert Oshatsu. More “advanced” in terms of adoption such fashionable bionic interiors is a generation enough young people (up to about 45 years old) whose tastes were formed after perestroika who saw things of a completely different aesthetic qualities than those that were made in the USSR. However, in our country, unfortunately, a fairly large percentage of people still love pompous classics. Mexican designer, architect concept Хавьера Сеносиана – дом “Наутилус”

Фото изopen sources As for environmental friendliness, the issue is not easy. Idea recycling garbage takes root with us with great difficulty, and progressive in this matter, again, rather, young people. Despite on this, some domestic designers still use this principle. For example, they make furniture from over-8 secret raw materials, let’s say plastic. They produce faucets that save as much as possible. water consumption, household appliances that saves electricity. Young designers come up with chairs that turn into a hanger or to the table. Moreover, such things combine both functionality and excellent design – concise, austere, modern. At all, laconic interiors are becoming increasingly popular. But pure constructivism as a permanent habitat and rest, not everyone is able to withstand. So in our country too not everything is as bad as it might seem at first glance. But as for houses made of transparent walls, then here I cannot help but to smile. Of course, aesthetically I really like it, but you can’t forget that we live in Russia, and our climate is not very warm, but the time period when the room needs to be heated is very long lasting. Meanwhile, such transparent rooms require very good heating. Due to some solar panels live in It’s difficult for Russia. But again, despite this, we have more appears houses with panoramic glazing. Just usually panoramic one or two walls are made. In general, the unity of the landscape with architecture and interior – this is a powerful trend today, as we have, so in the West. Homes appear abroad that continue natural landscape (house-hills, house-trees, etc.), and here, in turn more and more projects with green facades when the facades of the building are completely covered with plants. Definitely let not everyone can do this in our country. And yet this the trend is gaining momentum and is gradually becoming more affordable. 
Фото изopen sources A “smart home”, which for our country is already It has become quite a long time ago – there is nothing but a forerunner new technologies in home maintenance – computerization and robots. Fresh heads appear in industrial design. So that we are not so far behind the West. So far, all these trends are reflected in private construction or in construction business class houses, but little by little they get to mass buildings. For example, now among engineers is actively discussed the question of robotization of the construction process itself. I think years through ten new technologies will come to the homes of ordinary citizens. Naked Science February 2014
