Unique Concept Buildings
Published on: 27 Sep 2024
What's more intriguing than a modern home that expands the boundaries of innovation, imagination & sometimes, sustainability? Here are a few unique concept homes that will wander your mind and urge you to think out of the box.
Green buildings
Green buildings are something that helps preserve natural resources and improve the quality of day-to-day life. Different areas or countries might have different types of green buildings since every other country or region has different climate conditions, cultures, a variety of social and economic conditions, and a wide difference in the environment. All these factors contribute to the construction of green buildings.
A green building would ensure that the building serves its purpose while also taking care of the factors that would impact the environment better. The construction would encourage ways to promote a healthy environment and would not do anything that would adversely impact the land, water, and energy resources in and around the building.
Some of the Green buildings located in India are ITC Green Centre Gurgaon, Suzlon One Earth Pune, Patni Knowledge Center Noida, and Olympia Tech Park Chennai.

Advantages of green buildings?
Green buildings are designed by keeping in mind ways that would reduce the all over impact on the environment and the human health
1. lower wastage of water and energy: Green buildings certified by the Indian Green Building Council(IGBC) result in saving water up to 20% -30% and saving energy up to 40%-50% in comparison with normal buildings in India
2. Conserves Natural Resources: Building quarter has the largest potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions than any other emitting quarter. The emissions savings potential is probably as much as 84 gigatonnes of CO2 by 2050, ways in which the building can save energy, fuel switching, and usage of renewable energy.
3. Improves Air and Water Quality: Low Concentrations of CO2 and pollutants and good ventilation can improve the performance by up to 8 percent.
4. Protects Biodiversity and Ecosystems: Green building supports the ecosystem by saving resources and using renewable energy. Reusing and recycling material and not using any sort of toxic materials anywhere.
Modern architecture
Based on the new and innovative technologies of new ways of constructing any property, specifically the usage of glass, steel, and concrete. It came into being in the 20th century. The two ideas were for it to be more functional and minimalistic. Modern architecture mostly meant experimenting and trying different ways while rejecting the existing rules. Development in engineering, health, building materials, and industry helped. It also helped solve practical problems.
- New building materials: Scientific advancement led to the creation of new materials such as glass, steel, concrete, and cast iron. The architects would have the means to get these materials very easily.
- Engineering advancements: Since the architects would have the freedom to design the way they want, also they have the material now. Buildings became thinner and lighter and could use large glass surfaces, for example, Skyscrapers. They could have bigger spaces and modernist interiors.
- Functional: Modernism did not only introduce us to new materials and advancements but also that a building could be focused on functionalism. Modern architecture is leaned toward the idea of minimalism, clean, balanced composition, with no or very little reference to historical architecture.
- Comfort and health: A new idea introduced by modernism is that commercial buildings could also have an element of comfort. Instead of small windows, many rooms and walls, the outdoors, spacious rooms were a must. Scientists learned more about health, and the designs were made accordingly.
Some of the famous modern architecture is the Fallingwater house USA, Villa Savoye France, and Isokon Building in London.
Futuristic architecture
The futurist architecture form of architecture emerged in the early 20th century. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti pioneered the movement. The movement was influenced by the growing world around it, like the increase in technology, speeding trains, mass production, and new machinery in the market. The futuristic building used designs like oval lines, triangles, sharp edges, and other shapes which have never been used or showed that the ideas were out of the box. They visualized high-rise skylines and used vertical spaces to go with the growing commerce and population flow.
Some of the examples of Futuristic buildings are the Atomium Belgium, the Museum of Tomorrow Brazil, and the Pixel building Australia.
Futuristic architecture mostly depends on these 4 elements:
Movement: Straight lines, square or rectangular shapes, unique angles, hanging slopes, sharp edges, ovals, and domes would give it a futuristic look.
Technology: Functional glass elevators, sleek designs, and metal components to add emotions and beauty.
Natural materials: Huge glass windows supported by metal frames. The architects incorporated a lot of elements from the natural environment.
What makes a Building interesting and why does every time we step out and our eyes always wander to the architecture which stands out? After looking at Green buildings, Modern architecture and Futuristic architecture, we know that every building tells a story. Look closely. Well, this was all about unique concept homes which would have forced you to think outside the box. How did you find the above ideas? Have you seen any of these techniques incorporated into a building?
