Architectural
Aspects of Future Home
There are many ways
houses may change in the future.
One way is through the architecture. Many people
think this is just the structure or look of the
house, but it is much, much more. The architecture
of a house also includes the building materials
used in the structure
of the house and how the house uses energy.
we explore these two areas. To learn more, click

Architecture began in
ancient times going as far back as the Egyptian
Empire. Now you can learn about the history of “architecture”

New building materials
are being developed because if we do not save current
building materials, in the future they will be scarce.
Materials like Syndecrete, a material developed
by David Hertz at Syndesis, Inc., might help reduce
the use of limited and/or non-recyclable materials.
Syndecrete is a solid lightweight concrete surfacing
material that is an alternative to inadequate or
nonrenewable natural supplies. Syndecrete is made
of materials that are environmentally friendly and
taken from waste streams. Personally, I think that
Syndecrete would be a good material and should be
used for future homes because in the future many
supplies that are important in building structures
and buildings may be limited if we do not use them
sparingly. This material is made of recycled resources
that are conservational. Another interesting material
that has been used in the building of a house is
seagull bone marrow.
