# Curvaceous Eco Architecture Michael Jantzen's Curved Architecture Kit Fits Modular Pieces Together By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-08 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curved-architecture References: [archinect](http://archinect.com/michael-jantzen/project/the-multi-form-building-system) & [archello](http://www.archello.com/en/project/multi-form-building-system) This modular, curved architecture system by Michael Jantzen is a kit that can be assembled in a number of different ways to form different structural shapes. The insulated curved panels are made with [eco-friendly concrete panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omer-arbel), forming rooflines, walls and floors. Each of these panels can be bolted together for the purposes of introducing wiring and plumbing to the structure. Due to the nature of the [modular Multi-form Building System](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-jantzen-2), it can be used to create partially open and closed spaces, which is perfect for encouraging natural vegetation, ventilation and light to come into the space. While a lot of [modular systems are boxy and rectangular](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agni-modular), this inventive modular system is a curved beauty that stands out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Architecture:** The modular architecture trend presents an opportunity for innovative design and efficient construction processes. - **Eco-friendly Construction:** The eco-friendly construction trend offers a chance for sustainable building materials and practices to disrupt traditional construction methods. - **Integration of Nature in Design:** The trend of integrating nature in design creates opportunities to bridge the gap between architecture and the natural environment, promoting well-being and sustainability. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction:** The construction industry can benefit by embracing modular architecture, streamlining processes and reducing waste. - **Sustainable Materials:** The sustainable materials industry has the potential to provide eco-friendly alternatives for concrete panels and other building components. - **Architectural Design:** The architectural design industry can capitalize on the trend of integrating nature in design by creating innovative structures that harmonize with the environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Living Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-bv-system.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Interactive Public Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion.md) - [Shape‑shifting Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-offgrid-house.md) - [Reconfigurable Modular Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco.md) - [Chic Curved Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curved-house1.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formfunctional-archifurniture.md) - [Green Community Building Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arckit-greenscape-village.md) - [Modular Contemporary Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv.md)
