Top 20 Architecture Trends for February

From 3D-Printed Shelters to Man-Made Island Homes

— February 27, 2021 — Art & Design
This list of February 2021 architecture trends spans from sustainable 3D-printed houses to homes on a man-made island, highlighting the diversity in building, whether it's for practicality, convenience, or simply aesthetics.

With stay-at-home orders still in place throughout most parts of the world, the importance of a comfortable home has never been more understood. Design firms are responding by expanding the limits of what typical housing looks like, offering something for every need. For example, the TECLA from WASP, offers a 3D-printed shelter that can withstand any environment. Meanwhile, the more luxe consumer might be drawn to Tower C an impressively designed sky scrapper set to be built in China, it features an eye-catching and highly unusual facade.
