Architecture takes on innovative methods of retaining or changing temperatures
Trend - Architecture that blends enhanced temperature-responsive or regulating designs is increasingly popular–both in artistic installations and functional buildings. This shift indicates a continuing movement toward progressive architecture in light of issues like climate change.
Insight - Architecture is at the forefront of how people, particularly those in cities, are able to both function and enjoy their day-to-day. Design shifts in these areas are able to easily impact the quality of life of the average person–and as the impact of climate change progresses, people are more concerned now about both the micro and macro effects that weather pattern changes and rising temperatures will have on their lives. Thus, the shift towards architectural trends that are able to mitigate some of those concerns can be observed.
