Task 3 Imagine future Architecture!
Directions: Our lives may be very different in the future. Architecture must change as we change. Work in groups and try to imagine what your future house could be! Complete the task according to the suggested steps.
Step 1 Discussions
(1) What will houses of the future look like?
(2) Will people live on other planets? Or underground or under the sea?
(3) What new building materials will we use?
(4) Where will your house be built?
(5) What will your building site be like?
(6) Will you use recycled materials or invent new ones?
(7) Will there be new ways to power your house?
(8) Will there be new ways your house functions?
(9) Will there be new rooms and spaces we don't have now?
(10)Who will live in your house? How many people?
(11)What form will your future house have? How will it look?
Step 2 Drawing
Draw a rough sketch of your future house and color it.
Step 3 Describing
Write a short description about your house and how you think the future will be. You can put your drawing and paragraph together on a piece of colored paper for display. A possible version is given to help you.
A possible version: My future building is a passive solar, earth shelter house with lots of room to grow food. There are plenty of windows, so it doesn't feel like living underground! I also converted the yard to food growing space. I invented a water collector that also filters the rainwater. For electricity, there are plenty of "windmills." My house is built with materials found on the site and takes little wood.
