Top 30 Eco Architecture Trends in June

From Sustainable Luxury Homes to Modular Angular Cabins

— June 19, 2021 — Eco
The May 2021 eco architecture trends showcase the growing importance of environmentally conscious materials and proprietary construction methods in new building projects. As society moves toward increased sustainability and decreased carbon footprints, architectural innovations are key to establishing a solid foundation for green infrastructure that will serve society in the future.

The Forestias, a green neighborhood that will be constructed in Bangkok, speaks to the integration of the urban and natural environments. The neighborhood features multi-generational dwellings and swathes of forested areas, producing a community that is connected to tradition and innovation as well as the world around it.

Project Milestone, a housing development in the Netherlands, took an eco-friendly approach to construction. The development is made up of five 3D-printed concrete homes. Buildings that utilize modular construction, like Project Milestone, save time and money and reduce the environmental impact of the development process.
