Looking After the Earth and Ourselves with Eco Architecture and Design

Today more than ever, there’s a distinct focus on the environment, which is the driving force behind eco architecture and design that helps create a symbiotic relationship between nature and the places we inhabit. What’s noteworthy is the ways that eco architecture and design is being implemented into not simply commercial endeavours, but the residential market as well.

Trend Hunter’s PRO Trend Geothermal Design details the ways that modern eco design is making use of Earth’s resources to better live in harmony rather than using fossil fuels until they run scarce. Going further with this notion, we’re noticing a shift in where people are planting their residential roots with ‘off the grid’ housing getting more attention today than ever before. The concept works by people using renewable energy like solar, wind and geothermal technologies to live lives “off the grid” and in a more sustainable manner than lifestyles lived in typical residential developments.

What’s most exciting about eco architecture and design is the ways it is not only saving our resources, but also the stunning way it’s transforming our cityscapes. The Plexus Offices by Ipas Architectes is an exquisite building that features sophisticated exercises in architectural grace and that also uses sustainable means to power it. The building rises and descends in certain areas that helps to accentuate the overall design and thus grab attention. It’s this relationship between eco-friendly and appealing design that will help to bolster the green initiative for the future, and continue to make it one of the more lucrative ventures that one can enter in the 21st century.
