Architecture Trends to Watch This Year

Architecture Trends to Watch This Year

Climate-responsive design

Passive cooling, deep shading, cross-ventilation and thoughtful orientation are replacing reliance on mechanical systems.

Renovating and repurposing existing buildings saves embodied carbon and preserves character.

Craft and local materials

There is a renewed appreciation for local stone, brick, timber and skilled craftsmanship.

Biophilic detail

Courtyards, planted terraces and generous openings bring nature into everyday life.
