Amazing Buildings of the Future

Galactic Suites

Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid

Sky City 1000

Dynamic Tower

Hydro polis

3d printing technology

The International Space Station has accommodated literally half dozens of space tourists since 2001. To meet this overwhelming demand for zero gravity holidays, Galactic Suite Limited, a Spanish company, is devising an orbital three-bedroom hotel. Yes, we're thinking half of the horror films in the future are going to be set at this place.

Galactic Suites

Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid

The proposed 1.25-miles high Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid would be 12 times taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza. Seeing as how Japan has 128 million people vacuum-packed in residential areas one-fourth the size of California, the pyramid will help alleviate the nation's burgeoning overpopulation problem.

Sky City 1000

As you know, Japan has a problem with space. Japan has the highest land prices on the planet. Although Sky City 1000 is a pricey endeavor, a bulk of its expenses will be land costs. By smooshing the population of a small town into a structure three times taller than the Eiffel Tower, the builder can preserve greenspace and save enough yen to later retrofit the place with holodecks.

Each floor of the Dynamic Tower is prefabricated and attached to a central axis, thereby lowering construction time and costs. Turbines and solar panels also promise to cover energy expenses. If this structure actually makes good on revolutionizing the skyscraper, the fact that it wiggles like a belly dancer is just walnuts on the baklava.

Dynamic tower

Hydropolis is a sprawling underwater hotel under construction in Dubai of the United Arab Emirates, the home of most of the world's ridiculous construction projects. Sixty-six feet below the Persian Gulf and covering an area equal to London's Hyde Park. Juxtaposing an aquatic city next to the world's biggest desert boomtown is such a goofily whimsical idea you can't help but smile

Hydropolis

3d printing technology in buildings

The advantages of this would be quicker construction, lower labor costs, and less waste produced. It is also a potential way of building extraterrestrial structures on the Moon or other planets where environmental conditions are less conducive to human labor-intensive building practices.

Developments in additive manufacturing technologies have included attempts to make 3D printers capable of producing structural buildings.

Transportation includes

Roadways, Railways, Airports, Parking Lots, and Traffic Control Signal Systems.

Roadways

The roadway networks in the future city must be designed For both Mobility and accessibility.

Typical street connectivity standards or goals include the features listed below.

Encourage average intersection spacing for local streets to be 300-400 feet.

Reduces street pavement widths to 24-36 feet.

Limits or discourages cul-de-sacs (for example, to 20% of streets).

Limits or discourages gated communities and other restricted access roads.

Specifically favors pedestrian and cycling connections, and sometime connections for transit and emergency vehicles, where through traffic is closed to general automobile traffic.

Creates Pedways, which are walking networks within major commercial centers that connect buildings and transportation terminals.

Laying low cost roads in places where road users are less in number.

Railways

Railways are one of the cheapest modes of transport for most of thepeople in the world. We can expect the future railways to have good connectivity within and outside the city, high speed, high safety,super comfort. Railways in cities must be metros rather than conventional railways on ground as it saves a lot of place which isan essential parameter that is to be considered keeping in mind the rapidly growing cities and population.

Airways

Airways in future cities must be well connected, affordableWith high levels of comfort and safety.

Future airports must be built on seas if there is a possibility as land in cities is scarce and costly.(LAND RECLAMATION)

Parking

Nowadays parking has become a major difficulty in cities due to rapid increase in the number of automobile users. So to avoid wastage of time searching for parking slots in future automobile users must be able to get information through mobile applications. The parking slots must be sensor enabled and these sensors will detect which parking spaces are vacant, and this information will be combined with an app that shows drivers where the empty spaces are and can direct them towards one. Once the driver has parked their car, they can also use the app to pay for parking remotely.

Traffic jam and Accidents are the common issues causing inconvenience to the million citizens in a city now a days.

What I envision in a city of the future is a signal that operates based on the traffic intensity of a road.

The traffic control system based on vehicle density calculation tries to reduce possibilities of traffic jams, caused by traffic lights.

Caused by:

Signal inefficiency to regulate traffic.

Solution

The system contains three IR transmitter and IR receiver for traffic density measurement which are mounted on the either sides of roads respectively.

Microcontroller controls the IR system and counts number of vehicles passing on road.

Based on vehicle density calculation, the microcontroller takes decision and updates the traffic light delays as a result.

The traffic light is situated at a certain distance from the IR system.

Thus based on vehicle density calculation, microcontroller defines different ranges for traffic light delays and update.

Also we use GPS technology to give accidental information about the vehicle.

How it works???

Pressure sensitive transducers installed beneath roads

Purpose:

To produce electricity from mechanical stress applied due to vehicles

TechnologyPiezo-electric devices converts mechanical stress into electricity.

Implementation

Place these devices under the roads. To convert the mechanical stress caused by cars into electric charge.

Artificial intelligence controlled traffic

Problem in heavily populated cities:

High accident rates which is proportional to the mortality rate.

This also jams the traffic.

solution:

Artificial intelligence controlled car system that enables safe driving based on prompt braking and accident avoidance

Alternative route for jay walking

Problem in present cities:

The traffic gets interrupted by jay walkers in the middle of the road.

Solution:

Creation of subways and foot over bridges will not interrupt the traffic and they are a consideration for the safety and mobility of the pedestrians.

This also avoids accidents by jay walking.

Alternative Power Sources

Problem:

Irrational use of non-renewable resources and irrational use of electricity..

.

Solution:

Rooftops of buildings should be fitted with solar panels.

Picture Of The GREEN HOUSE

Fuel sources for powering vehicles

Problem in present cities:

Irrational use of non renewable resources for powering vehicles which also is monetarily expensive.

Solution:

Use battery operated vehicles such as Segways or rechargeable battery operated cars.

Power the vehicles using renewable sources of energy such as solar energy .

SEGWAY

Building design

A building’s location and surroundings play a key role in regulating its temperature and illumination.

So there is a need to envision a building that consumes minimum amount of energy.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes and neighborhoods.

So there is a need to maintain organizations that guide building owners and operators to be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.

The Gold and Platinum rating of David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, is the first convention center in the world to have LEED certifications.

1225 Connecticut Avenue in Washington, D.C., is the first redeveloped office building on the U.S. East Coast to receive LEED Platinum status.

Taipei 101, the tallest and largest green building of LEED Platinum certification in the world since 2011.

Real estate developers have begun to use LEED certification and a building's green status as selling points.

Install windmills

Use tidal and hydropower.

Installation of Sensors to detect movement based electric supply in every house

Powering streetlights with solar energy,

Convenience & safety of citizens

Every house that has an invalid as member should be installed with a medical cabinet that has an RFID reader.

Problem:

Tracking of medicines to be taken is a difficult process for a layman

Every medicine should be tagged with an RFID tag

In case the medicine is off the rack due to finishing, the RFID reader automatically detects it and reorders the medicine for the invalid from the pharmacy

An invalid is mostly not capable of helping himself/herself

Solution:

II) Long queues

Problem:

Long queues in supermarkets at cash counter

Solution:

Place RFID in all the products so that customer just has to walk through without the scanning of each item.

The item will get scanned automatically as the user passes through the reader and the money will get deducted from the bank automatically.

ECO-Friendliness

Alternatives to paper usage

Problem:

Excessive use of paper in schools, offices, etc.

Leads to deforestation of the “Lungs of our Planet”.

Use of cloth bags in supermarkets. Use of digital displays for advertisements in and around city

Use of Tablets and electronic devices for memos, writing, bills, reading news papers ,notes etc.

Concrete is the second largest material that is being used and its Cfootprint(amount of carbon dioxide released during its production) is around 60% which is harmful for the environment.

Effective ways of using concrete

So Geo polymer concrete must be used as an alternative in future cities

Waste Management

Pollution in cities.

Inefficient garbage disposal.

Improper reuse of waste.

Sweden Must Import Trash For Energy Conversion Because Its Recycling Program Is So Successful.

Turning waste into worth - innovation in future cities

Waste is not something that should be discarded or disposed of with no regard for future use. It can be a valuable resource if addressed correctly. Those benefits include:

Economic - Improving economic efficiency through the means of resource use, treatment and disposal and creating markets for recycles can lead to efficient practices in the production and consumption of products and materials resulting in valuable materials being recovered for reuse and the potential for new jobs and new business opportunities.

Social - By reducing adverse impacts on health by proper waste management practices, the resulting consequences are more appealing settlements. Better social advantages can lead to new sources of employment and potentially lifting communities out of poverty especially in some of the developing poorer countries and cities.

Environmental - Reducing or eliminating adverse impacts on the environmental through reducing, reusing and recycling, and minimizing resource extraction can provide improved air and water quality and help in the reduction of greenhouse emissions.

Inter-generational Equity - Following effective waste management practices can provide subsequent generations a more robust economy, a fairer and more inclusive society and a cleaner environment.

Reuse of waste water for firefighting, watering the plants etc.

Disposal of non-biodegradable waste under the sea beds and covering it in sealed barrels.

Use of Biodegradable fertilizer.

Sensors in drainage to detect clogging.

Efficient use of electronic wastes

Technologies like RFID tags are now being used to collect data on presentation rates for curb-side pick-ups.

Benefits of GPS tracking is particularly evident when considering the efficiency of ad hoc pick-ups (like skip bins or dumpsters) where the collection is done on a consumer request basis.

Using technology

Creating awareness among citizens on waste disposal and imposing fines.

Disaster management in future cities

Types of disasters

Building underground tunnels to intake excess flow of water during floods

Building earth quake resistant structures

Technology to improve disaster management functionality

Using technology to safeguard people who are trapped in disasters
