Future City encompasses architectural and urban design projects that imagine next-generation settlements. These works address how cities can adapt to changing needs through innovative spatial organization, sustainable systems, and new building typologies.

The community explores modular and mobile housing solutions, AI-driven urban planning, floating and nomadic architectures, and eco-conscious city centers. Projects range from theoretical frameworks like Linear City and Hexagon City to practical prototypes examining how architecture responds to future dwelling patterns and environmental constraints.

Nomad House

This proposal also serves as a critique to the current working environments. It is a hybrid housing and working model that allows renewal and flexibility to take place not only at the macro scale but also at the micro and meso scale. This model discusses how the technology, people and nature will interact in the future.

Besahapio - the modul city

The City of Besahpio should become a destination for people from all over the world. Inspired by climatic solutions of traditional cities (transformed by modern material and new means of transport) it will become a lively and sustainable city in a harsh surrounding.

(pr)OpenCity

‘(pr)OpenCity’ advocates a collaborative design method for future development: one that allows rapid application with its prototypical nature and an inclusive approach with mediation between the ‘user’ and the ‘urban’. Building upon the concepts of ‘open-sourcing’ in design, this experiment establishes a user-centric design approach to built interiors.

Hexagon City

Hexagon City challenges the norm by using materials at hand at the building side, by making optimal use of the land and by applying low-tech solutions to supply the city with durable energy, water, shade and cooling.Although it can be added we do not prefer high-tech solutions for their need of scarce raw materials.

NomadHouse - Under Construction

In response to this increasingly fast-paced contemporary era with increasingly blurred boundaries between home and work, we have been thinking about what is the most suitable way for digital nomads to live today. Through the design of vehicles as residential units, we hope to create a building with the ever-changing preferences.

ROTATING SHIFTING SKYSCRAPER

A modern organic shape with rotating floors that provides hierarchy in needs and sustainability in one single tower. Before designing my project i searched about the life in 2050 , which will need a lot of energy and electricity due the use of technology and the existence of robots.. I used natural methods to generate power (solar and wind powers...)

City Fields_Wrapped Up

General idea is based on immersion of the landscape principles into an urban context. This act would create new links in both morphological and functional way, becoming an attractive and productive sustainable ecosystem at the same time, combining fields, workshops, hubs public space and markets into one.
