A new method of construction emerges in the middle of the 21st century. Instead of humans and cumbersome machines, genetically modified bacteria are now working at construction sites. This method is called bio-3D-printing. The tiny “builders” move along an initially defined route, leaving

By early 2050, Rabat Column is the tallest skyscraper in the world. It can be seen from Tangiers to Gibraltar. Its unusual height inspired engineers to forgo a typical elevator system for a vertical high-speed monorail along the exterior of the building, connecting with a public transportation network

2050 Coral island

In XX century, some artificial islands were built by UAE, Japan and China, but their land reclamation technologies were rather old-fashioned: large amounts of rocks, cement or clay had to be moved to a targeted area. That's why those artificial islands were small and very expensive to build. Now, with

The high price of land has forced even the well-off to squeeze up; townsfolk are increasingly eager to acquire their own plot, which means multi-tiered gardens are all the rage. Viewed from the sun-facing side, they resemble artificial hills with sections divided into tiers, each of which is umbrellaed

By 2030 around 40% of all buildings in Dubai will be built using 3D-printing technology. The first architectural project made with a 3D printer was created in the United Arab Emirates back in 2016. By 2025 the value of the market for 3D-printing in construction reached 1 billion dollars, and new developments

2050 Dubai

Dubai has become a construction site for a futuristic skyscraper, “hanging” from an asteroid that orbits the Earth 50 000 km from its surface. The futuristic hotel is literally suspended in the air. The asteroid-satellite that the hotel is attached to has a figure-of-eight orbit and passes the northern

In 2050, magnetic levitation technologies are widely used, not only in transport but also in construction. A new sphere - Magnetic Field Architecture (MFA) has considerably expanded what architects can physically do. Besides opening up previously unimaginable design possibilities, MFA also facilitates

2030 Dubai

The expanding city, along with its polluted environment and a lack of natural resources such as fresh water, made industrial space optimisation a key issue for the city. To avoid building large industrial zones within the city limits, Dubai creates vertical factories, allowing for maximum convenience

Thanks to advancements in genetics, eco-architecture gets a boost and develops in a new direction: building, or, rather, growing huge tree-houses. Genetically modified trees grow faster and are more reliable in bad weather conditions. When they reach the optimal size, their growth stops and a residential

From an initial idea to build floating houses, we now see an impressive ship-complex. A 100-metre floating platform with a cruiseliner-like space inside. It is practically static, anchored in one place and maintains near-perfect balance, even during the strongest storms. This is possible due to the collective
