New materials, sustainability and biomimicry lead design trends.

studioTECHNE Architects of Cleveland, OH are well-versed in the design of public and private spaces with a focus on unique solutions for schools, churches, libraries and cultural institutions.

The most important architectural design trends point to the need to work with the changing environment, and draw from natural but sustainable resources and solutions.

Architects can use emerging technology like virtual reality immersion to create powerful visual experiences for their clients.

Large format 3D printing offers unique cost savings, lower site impact, and energy efficiencies. Collaboration partnerships with universities, and anthropologists bring new insights and enhance diversity.

Combining more than one architecture industry trend extracts the most value.

Here are a few excepts from their trends update…

“ICON has recently 3D printed a 100 home neighborhood in Austin Texas, reducing the cost and making resilient energy-efficient homes with less construction waste”

“Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality enhance our ability to communicate our design concepts and the spatial experience of our buildings. “

“Biomimicry is a method of solving human challenges by learning and imitating the strategies in nature. Exploration Architecture utilizes computational design to imitate nature and rethink our use of energy and building resources. Integrating natural systems that have evolved over millions of years to adapt to the planet creates innovation and positive impacts as we move to a carbon-neutral future.”

New projects and updates to existing footprints are a chance to embrace new architectural and planning resources, alternative material, technological solutions, and a new spirit of collaboration between public and private institutions to create more human, inclusive spaces.
