Top 25 Architecture Innovations in September

From Plant Pot Facades to Communal Living Projects

— September 28, 2019 — Eco
The top September 2019 architecture ideas explore designs that range from the simple and practical to the fantastical and otherworldly.

To help people appreciate its striking stained glass windows and intricately designed ceiling, Norwich Cathedral set up a towering funhouse ride within its interior, also injecting a sense of play into a setting that's ordinarily very serious. In a few years, people will be able to look forward to being able to rent a stay in a futuristic and sustainable dwelling inspired by outer space.

Some of the most stunning architectural facades include experimentation with the use of repeated elements like plant pots and foliage, which form not only details that are interesting to look at but rich textures that make it seem as though buildings are dressed in "fabric."
