Here is another new futuristic free-shaped structure by Architect Ephraim-Henry Pavie, Biomorphic House. Hand made green house, soft and sensitive biomorphic architecture for a magical environment. The Biomorphic House is facing the Mediterranean Sea from its 1000-meters high, the panoramic bay windows have been shaped like amazing sunglasses overlooking the sea.

The Nurbs-like glazing surfaces provide ideal support for mounting the brand new kinds of transparent Photovoltaic-cells. The electricity produced by such an area of PV-Cells units is to be converted in Hydrogen (through a self powered water electrolyze process) and compressed into containers for a later use. This zero-emission pilot-project includes the development of a Hydrogen powered PEM-Fuel-Cell generator, providing electricity while the only “emissions” are reusable heat and pure water.

Designer : Pavie Architects

The curvaceous and organic skin of Biormorphic house developed Pavie-Architecture Company plays with aerodynamic shapes which deal in an elegant way with the strong winter storms. The interior design is the natural extension of the inside of the skin. The all concept looks like a magical world where you escape the limits between floors, free shaped walls and ceilings, it’s going to feel as if you are relaxing in a large peaceful luxurious yacht or space ship anchored over a magical landscape. Pavie says that this eco-house is a world class design featuring futuristic beauty, passion and performance.

Bionic Arch is a pioneering building design concept that has been specially created with a goal to symbolize the dynamics of economic, social, political and cultural achievements of new eco-friendly green city of Taiwan as a part of the new master plan “Taichung Gateway – Active Gateway City”. This groundbreaking design combines the nine major indicators that require a building to be called as Green by law, planting green, water conservation, daily energy efficiency, carbon dioxide reduction, waste reduction, water resources, wastewater and garbage improvements, protection and biodiversity, and refinement of the interior environment, making it exactly what future accommodations needed to be.

Designer : Vincent Callebaut Architect

The active inclusion of mechanisms for producing sustainable energies like solar or wind generated power combined with botanical and bio-technologies, the building is 100% self sufficient from any aspect of eco-living. This unique and innovative Bionic Arch building concept features park, green lands, vertical green platforms, living facades and sky gardens, that will help developing the eco awareness among mass people and help the environment to sustain.

From my point of view, Beijing House II looks like giant spaceship trying to invade a building. This futuristic spaceship is actually a house with 3 bedrooms, a studio and a green room. During the modernization of Beijing, there were many independent housing typology destroyed (fortunately, the government leaves some historical houses intact), you’ll find many huge stacking commercial residential buildings today.

Designer : Yaohua Wang Architecture

The architect decided to look for a new way to bring back independent housing typology back to this city with Beijing House II project. Instead of occupying more spaces, this house has been designed to attach onto an exterior of an obsolete factory building. In this way, this house will use empty city space above the ground, it looks like floating in the air. The challenge would be to keep the house safe from earthquakes that often hit the city, therefore, it’s really important to design a mechanical system that could counteract apotential earthquake.

Beijing House II possesses fluid geometry body, combined with its mechanical system, creates unique and innovative style that becomes the main feature of this design.

Eco Drive Monorail concept must be the most effective way as of now to take out the most from the existing rail infrastructure, while ensuring adequate and space efficient rail transportation solution for future generation. High demand in peak commuter hours will never be an issue to bother for passengers because the same old train track will be accommodating three trains including the old one, and two more on the monorail. The most amazing thing is the EDM concept features two trains actually, that can obviously run in the same direction, but most surprisingly, they can run in opposite directions as well on the same monorail. The monorail is deigned to build over the existing rail network which will reduce the cost of building particular stations for them, while keeping the productivity of the old rail system unaffected, increasing railtransportation capacity.

The main inspiration of the innovative design of Roca London Gallery, UK has been derived from the power of water as a transforming element to carve a sequence of dynamics. This 1100 square meter gallery is featured with stunning architectural design that can offer an extraordinary futuristic feel to the visitors. It was designed not to be just a display center; also, this gallery will be a place where people can arrange exhibitions, seminars, meetings, presentations, debates and many more. The façade is the starting point of the water theme design that looks like a set of waves moving across the exterior.

Designer : Zaha Hadid Architects

The white central axis of the gallery has been designed in a flowing manner and leads to many smaller, semi-enclosed spaces made of concrete. The walls contain slices and fissures that offer permeability all through the gallery. The interior of Roca London Gallery is featured with effective audio-visual equipments, letting the visitors know about the history, achievement landmarks and values of the company.

Zaha Hadid Architects, keeping their usual fluid movement language intact, has designed Form in Motion, a groundbreaking exhibition center for the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The design incorporates wavy geometries that give it a great touch of urbanism, while displays a swelling three dimensional environment both from inside and out. The design flow has been perfectly carried out by active combination of architecture, landscape and geology, and the point where these elements intersect by giving it a wave like movements with constantly shifting perspectives.

Designer : Zaha Hadid Architects

The design uniqueness of this project can clearly be seen both in the interior decorations with innovative, state-of-art elements and the extraordinary curvy design of the floor. The furniture along with wall sculptures also reflects the liquid movement design aspect that really has made the auditorium a good example of unique architectural outcomes.

We think that Urban Beehive concept from Philips is an ingenious design to keep bees at home. The concept allows you to have a glimpse into the fascinating world of these industrious creatures while at the same time you can also harvest the honey that they produce. This concept is sustainable and eco-friendly while it also has educational effects from observing the bees in action. Aside from honey, the other benefits for the city would be pollination.

Designer : Philips Design

The design of Urban Beehive is modern, appealing, and respect the natural behavior of the bees. There are 2 parts: the entry passage and flower pot outside, and the glass vessel containing an array of honeycomb frames inside. The glass shell filters light to let through the orange wavelength which bees use for sight. The bees can build their wax cells from the frames that provide a honeycomb texture. In order to calm the beesbefore you can open this beehive, smoke can be released into it.

You should know that global bee colonies are declining slowly, Urban Beehive design will contribute to the preservation of these beautiful species, encourage the return of the urban bee. Bees produce honey and propolis, once people understand the health benefits of honey and propolis, we’re sure, this Urban Beehive can have an important role in the home apothecary.

Nanjing Lab III vegetation laboratory is a futuristic lab designed by Yaohua Wang, an avant-gardearchitect who has been known with his futuristic architecture designs. This design is a visualizations or proposed Nanjing Lab and currently under the schematic design phase. It’s definitely not your traditional vegetation lab that usually only focuses on the attributes of the plants themselves, this time, the lab will be used to also test plant’s behavior inside Nanjing city, such as their reactions to the city’s polluted air and dust.

Designer : Yaohua Wang

Nanjing Lab III vegetation laboratory has been designed to enable the scientists to control the plant’s interaction with their outside environment. In order to do this, variety of plant species are planted onto separate containers that protrude from the main volume of the building to the outside environment. These special containers will allow the sunlight to come through, in this way, the plants are going to get enough sunlight and air that passes through. The unique form of the landscape around the building creates different levels of humidity and solar conditions, each container will interact with a different environment settings.

Inside the building, exactly at the center of the lab, there’s a central robot arm that will automatically take out the core of the container and place them into storage for further research. This robot arm is controlled by a computer system that is located on the south side of the building. Some windows are incorporated into computer system room in order to provide a clear view of the robot room and its exterior.

The main structure of Nanjing Lab III vegetation laboratory consists of two big C channel steel beams. They lift the lab’s main body off the ground to create some spaces for the underside plant containers. There’s also a hydraulic mechanical system between the C channel steel beams and the building to absorb the impact of the structure from the movement of the central robot arm. If Nanjing Xiaguan district goverment agreed to this design proposal, it would be really interesting to see the development of this futuristic project.

In order to bring people together outside a university, Droplet outdoor communal workspace has been designed. It’s a unique free-hanging station just to hangout and relax while gather around outside the campus. This workspace incorporates six pods which slide around an inner or outer ring to create a framework that allows people to share the space in many unique and different arrangements. Each pod features screw-thread system to allow user to adjust its height while the unique droplet form creates a compelling aesthetic for any open space.

Matteo Cainer Architects have shared its latest design proposal for Gosta Serlachius Museum extension. This project explores a creative relationship between existing museum and its surrounding landscape. It harmonizes and blurs the boundaries between the existing architecture and the new one through an innovative and unique poetic architectural language. The interior of this extension also opens up as a sequence of spaces.

This new extension allows the museum to develop a unique cultural environment by integrating the aesthetic, functional and economic goals of a more varied institution through an extended programme of activities. The new Gosta Serlachius Museum extension establishes more flexibility in spaces for public events such as exhibitions, conferences or educational activities.

Designer : Matteo Cainer Architects

Gosta Serlachius’ extensive business interests in wood and paper processing supported his life-long passion and support of the arts; it is therefore through a reinterpretation of these two elements that the proposed Gosta Serlachius Museum extension expresses the pivotal role and influence of the Serlachius family. The form of the Serlachius house, especially the roof, is the template for the new building. The geometry of the roof planes are folded and cut in the manner of paper ori-gami “folding-paper” and kirigami “folded and cut shapes”, to develop a complex sequence of architectural spaces that slowly unfold to create a new layered experience. As in origami, the number of basic folds is small, but the evolving geometry results in a series of intricate shapes of surprising complexity. The nature of these is far removed from the walls and roof elements of a traditional building.

Timber is the language of the proposed extension, not only as an expression in the Nordic tradition, but representing the bold angular beauty that defines the landscape, where invisible forces can theatricality shape both the interior and exterior. The structure and building envelope are expressed as a single component that can be manufactured from a variety of wood products to meet the geometrical tolerances of the structure and the capacity for snow loads. This integrated approach results in day lit column-free spaces that express a variety of unusual forms and volumes internally. Clad in bitumen-coated weatherboarding, the Gosta Serlachius Museum extension is punctuated by a series of external glazed fins that allow controlled daylight to illuminate internal surfaces, generating surprising and inspiring effects that changes through the seasons. Selected views of the landscape, the island and the lake are framed through openings in the new restaurant.

Interpreting the transition from land to water, the architecture of Gosta Serlachius Museum extension willrespond to each season through elements that transform to create new spaces. In the summer months the lakeshore deck is used for water-side activities. In the winter, it transforms into a transitional space for the sauna strategically placed in the lake.

The museum will nourish the mind and the body, providing stimulation for the intellectually curious and those seeking tranquillity or recreation. As in the complex folds of origami there is a rare and underlying simplicity in the spaces, reflecting the program that shaped them. The experience for visitors reveals itself in the linked spaces where the geometry also provides the unexpected.
