Building Materials future date

From plastic equipment to home insulation - they literally build the world around nas.Za the past few years, researchers have developed a self-healing of this trend materials, revolutionary cooling and heating of buildings, as well as technologies that allow buildings as living plants clean the air of accumulated smog.

3D-printed bricks



Bricks Cool Bricks do not just look cool, they also perform a very important function. These unusual 3D-printed Bauxite bricks have a special structure that allows them to cool the room only through the water for a long time and very well-known technique of evaporative cooling. We created these bricks design company Emerging Objects, which is doing its utmost to promote the technology of 3D-printed building construction. Another feature of the Cool Bricks is that they are modular: folding of a sufficient number of these bricks together, you can create a great room cooling system, or even the whole house

. Liquid Granite



According to the creators of the building materials, it can completely replace the cement in betone.Zhidky granite - a material is lightweight and has the same load capacity as the cement, but it is made from recycled granite veschestv.Zhidky has no influence on the environment, such as cement or concrete. It consists of 30 to 70 percent of recycled material, and one third of the cement. This reduces the amount of carbon emissions in atmosferu.Nakonets, liquid granite surprisingly ogneustoychiv. It can withstand temperatures up to 1100 degrees Celsius, while retaining its structural properties. This distinguishes it from the concrete, which explodes at high temperatures.

Buildings smogopozhirateli



Buildings that purify the environment from pollution - it sounds fantastic, right? However, the technology has already been established. To some it may seem that for the sake of technology such buildings lose their aesthetic appearance, but I would not say that the building in the picture above looks ugly. Futuristic? Yes. But it is not ugly. This gives the appearance of a white building "exoskeleton" of biodynamic concrete, which absorbs smog particles, turning them into inert salts and thereby purifies the surrounding air. This amazing building is the pavilion of the World Exhibition "Expo-2015».

Algae Energy


The German city of Hamburg is home to the world's first building, which provide food for algae. The structure is used as a pilot test center for new developments of urban energy. BIQ House facade of the building consists of "biogenerator" filled with living algae that grow rapidly under direct sunlight and create a natural shade. Algae also produces biomass (food), and electricity, which is used to power the building. In general, the algae are another natural alternative to more renewable energy sources.

Sensitive tiles


Imagine walking through the kitchen to get to the refrigerator, the trajectory of the way the floor flicker, illuminating your path. This is possible thanks to SenseTile or, in other words, sensitive plitkam.Plitka made in such a way that among the layers of extruded fiber-optic kanalyperedachi that distribute light from one point to another, creating a movement on them shimmering effekt.Material available as well as floor coverings and bathrooms, and even on the ceiling. Flickering lights may follow you around the house.

Self-healing concrete



One of the most challenging issues faced by the construction, - durability. No one wants to spend a lot of money and a lot of time for the restoration of buildings. Dutch researchers have developed a new type of cement, which is itself restores itself, using a certain type of living bacteria and calcium lactate. The bacteria contained in the cement absorbs the calcium lactate and produce limestone which fills the cracks and substantially recovers to its original state of the integrity of the concrete. This amazing concept "living concrete 'can save a lot of time and materials for repair, since all the necessary materials will be incorporated in it originally.

Flexible concrete


Traditional concrete is very fragile in itself: it bursts at any bend. A new type of material izarmirovannyh fibers can put an end to this problem. This type of concrete is 500 times more resistant to cracking than conventional concrete. All this thanks to the tiny fibers, which account for two per cent of its membership. When they prevent polomku.Zasluga bend flexibility, however, not only fibers but also other materials. Due to this, the concrete shelf life is extended.

Flexible cell



Flexicomb name speaks for itself. Designed to Dan laboratories Gottlieb (Dan Gottleib) the flexible material is a honeycomb shape which can be used to create fixtures, furniture and even skulptur.Material consists of thousands of densely packed polypropylene tubes bent in such a way that the convex part remains outside, and hard - from the inside. Flexicomb so versatile that it can be used for virtually any purpose. Not to mention the fact that it looks amazing.

Glass tile for the roof



The Swedish company has developed SolTech beautiful glass tiles for the roofs, which can be used as a heating system. Made in the style of Spanish terracotta tiles, the development of the Swedish Inventors transmits sunlight, which can be used to heat water in stationary heating systems, saving considerable electricity bill.

Carbon fiber



Carbon fiber is very strong and at the same time light material. It is five times stronger and stiffer twice steel and weighs while two thirds menshe.Material created from carbon fibers, which are thinner than a human hair. The strands are woven together like a fabric and may be formed by any model. In addition, the fiber is strong, it is also flexible, so it is an ideal material for construction in areas exposed to hurricanes and other natural disasters.

"Smart" window



In order not to become hostage to permanent or bad view from the window, electronics manufacturers tempt future users the ability to enjoy the landscape of dreams, which can vary depending on their tastes. To this category should include a device called producer «Eye +» (Eye +), which is a 46-inch LED screen, displaying the selected customer videos with spectacular views. The technology allows you to change the perspective in accordance with the angle at which the eye falls on the person «Eye +».



Korean company Samsung at CES two years ago demonstrated the «Transparent Smart Window» - the future of the window that a dozen years ago, could only appear in science fiction movies

.

The device is a 46-inch screen and freely shifting from conventional plastic window function to the role of the display on which you can run any application. "Smart" window also performs the function of thermometer, clock and blinds.

House mushroom



One of the products that we have awarded Mother Nature, are the mushrooms. Did you know that mushrooms - it is also an excellent building material? Company Ecovative, for example, came up with a way to use the mycelium (the vegetative part of the mushroom body) and built a mushroom house the world's first. The compact housing size 3, 6 x 2, 1 meter is easy to fit in Perevoznaya trailer. Mushrooms are considered by the company as a sustainable and more environmentally friendly material, as this material is growing itself, and is not performed. Furthermore, mushrooms have Flammability natural protection, making them far safer than, for example, as insulation and sound insulation, as compared with conventional insulating materials.
