The future keeps looking extremely green and eco-friendly when it comes to lifestyles. A perfect example would be the FabLab House by IAAC which according to DesignBoom is a 75 m2 house that's suitable for a family of 4 and uses all its resources from the environment.
The FabLab House by IAAC is made completely out of wood and uses the water, wind and sun to create a microclimate throughout the house. What's also very neat is that according to IAAC the house acts like a tree by capturing "entergy with its solar 'leaves' and sends it down to its roots" -- allowing for reusable energy.

Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Homes - Designing homes that use natural resources to create microclimates and generate reusable energy from the sun, wind, and water.
2. Green Architecture - Creating architecture that mimics nature and impacts the environment as little as possible.
3. Sustainable Living - Encouraging and promoting a way of living that utilises natural resources and limits the exploitation of nature.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - Developing and building green homes using materials that have a low impact on the environment.
2. Architecture - Designing homes and buildings that work with nature instead of against it.
3. Renewable Energy - Innovating new ways to harness and reuse energy from sustainable sources such as sun, wind, and water.
