Are Smart Buildings the Future of Philippine Architecture?
In major cities in the Philippines such as Metro Manila, the latest trend in high-rise condominiums and offices seem to lean in favor of Smart Buildings. Smart buildings are infrastructures that use smart processes to control the building’s operations from its air conditioning, lighting, security and other systems. Smart Buildings operate with a click of a button or even through your smartphone with the help of sensors and other devices to perform different functions and services.
How Virtual and Augmented Reality Can Change Your Business
What is Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality?
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) both provide experiences using 3D high definition video and audio. One of the biggest trends that exploded in 2016 is Pokémon Go, which gave way for consumers to experience a hint of a location-based augmented reality game just by using smartphone devices. While VR and AR are commonly associated as a technology used mainly in the gaming industry, other businesses can also gain benefits from the opportunities both these platforms can offer.
With global trends shifting towards saving the environment and decreasing carbon footprints by being eco-friendly, the fastest growing segment in the design industry is the move towards the incorporation of sustainable or “green” design. Such focus is evident in the field of architecture, design and even in real estate marketing. Earth-friendly concepts like collecting rain water to supplement waste water needs, relying on solar panels and using sustainable materials such as bamboo are the go-to when it comes to designing a sustainable space.
Sustainable Building Materials that May Reshape the Construction Industry
As global populations rise, so will the need for shelter. Sad to say, current mainstream building methods are unsustainable, leaving behind large levels of carbon footprint, both during construction and throughout a building’s life. The good news is sustainability is becoming a priority for developers, and with many exciting innovations happening in the construction industry, sustainably addressing global accommodation needs is within reach.
Check out these five eco-friendly and sustainable materials that may change the shape of construction:
Is Virtual Reality The Next Giant Leap in Architecture?
With the launch and growing popularity of virtual reality tools such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, architects and designers can now create buildings and other infrastructure inside 3D space.
This technology, which couples VR software which was once created for gamers now offers architects a completely new weapon in the design arsenal.
Ways to Turn Interior Design into a Green and Sustainable Endeavour
Like other design fields, interior design is inextricably tied to evolving trends – what’s in and what’s out. Whilst the usual goal of interior design is decoration, renovation or architectural detailing, all interior designers must be updated on what’s going on in the industry.
