We particularly pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest news and features of all things architecture. With our world continuously moving forward, creating and discovering new technology and materials means that the future of field is looking bright.

Does it all seem a bit too farfetched considering buildings that repair themselves? Well, this is just one of the new technologies that will influence architecture of the future.

Another interesting material that has been developed is Electrohromic glass. This could create a future without blinds or curtains. The technology can be turned transparent or opaque whenever you like. This material works by having layers of specially formulated metals and plastics. These windows can also selectively reflect infrared light, preventing indoor overheating.

Self healing concrete is by far the most exciting new material. Tiny cracks in concrete, if not tended to, will seriously damage the whole structure over time. But this new material works by having embedded clay particles. When it comes into contact with water, it excretes chalk, therefore filling the crack.

Aerogel is yet another brilliant material. It is made from a solid glass foam saturated with minuscule air bubbles. It is one of the lightest materials on Earth and is efficient at insulating. One day this will allow architects more freedom in design with this see through material.

We are an architect London based clients can always rely on for advice about a wide array of materials.
