The June 2022 architecture innovations showcase the industry's move towards tech-based and tech-inspired designs. Some designers are turning to autonomous assembly processes like MIT Media Lab, which is testing innovative modular tiles for a new product. Researchers at the establishment are pioneering autonomous tiles to revolutionize space architecture.
As the world continues to think of new tech-based solutions for our cities' infrastructure, the architectural industry sees the construction of a crypto-inspired city. The Volcanic Bitcoin City, which will be constructed in El Salvador, was funded by cryptocurrency. It will take the shape of a bitcoin to further emphasize its tech-based roots. Designed by architecture studio FR-EE, the city will be sustainably powered using geothermal energy gathered from a nearby volcano. This month's architectural innovations point towards a future with endless design possibilities.
