Response to Sub Question

Our sub-question is How will architecture change in the future-I believe that architecture will change, it will change all the time, especially with the introduction of new materials such as syndecrete and transluscient concrete, the materials used currently will not satisfy our architecual needs of the future.

Concerning materials, they are making newer and better materials every year, such as the transluscent concretem which is a concrete but with a difference, you can see a black shape of the person behind it. Also material such as syndecrete, which is lighter and tougher than any normal materials, though it is expensive to obtain this material soon if it is mass produced the price will go down. There are also blocks of concrete which can be lit up, these are quite big steps in architecture, I will say now that I believe that there will not be an immediate change anytime soon, but there will be.

Anther main factor is that our lifestyle will change, we will probably be living a lot differently in the future than we are now, though there may not be an immediate change it is likely to happen.

Also people may be requiring more in their houses, therefore the design of their house will have to change.
