# Funky Greenchitecture The Pixel Building by Studio 505 Architects By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-building References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/studio-505-architects-to-build-first-carbon-neutral-office-in-australia/) & [studio505.au](http://www.studio505.com.au/) I have seen my fair share of eco-architecture, and although they are usually very innovative and breath-taking to behold, I have never come across one as funky as the Pixel Building. With its [psychedelic colors and dynamic paneling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron), 'funky' seems like the most appropriate descriptor. Designed by [Studio 505 Architects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/populus-hotel), there is more to the Pixel Building than its exterior. The first [carbon neutral office building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picoplanktonics) in Australia, it will commence construction later this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in designing eco-friendly buildings with unconventional and vibrant aesthetics like the Pixel Building. - **Carbon Neutral:** The trend towards constructing carbon neutral office buildings presents opportunities for innovative solutions in sustainable construction practices. - **Dynamic Paneling:** Incorporating dynamic paneling into architectural designs opens up possibilities for visually striking and functional buildings that can adapt to changing needs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The architecture industry can explore disruptive innovations in eco-architecture and dynamic paneling for creating visually appealing and sustainable structures. - **Construction:** The construction industry can capitalize on the trend towards carbon neutral buildings by developing innovative construction materials and techniques that reduce environmental impact. - **Sustainability:** The sustainability industry can find opportunities in eco-architecture and carbon neutrality initiatives to provide consulting, technology, and solutions for greener buildings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Office Building Rainbow Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-rainbow-office.md) - [Ultra-Colorful High-Density Residential Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdensity-residential-design.md) - [Carbon-Positive Dynamic Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/populus-hotel.md) - [Green Concrete Community Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studios-workac-and-ignacio-urquiza-architects.md) - [Rejuvenated Former Bank Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/former-bank-building.md) - [Pixelated Illusion Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-b.md) - [Barcon-Negative Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picoplanktonics.md) - [Dynamic Concrete Modern Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shire.md) - [Pier-Side Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-hq.md)
