Real Estate Of Future

In all ages the construction of grand buildings embodied the economic power of the state. But now, in the global financial crisis, many countries are building and designing objects that can cause admiration.

Despite the fact that money problems are dragging the construction business to the ground, «soaring» buildings being built. Moreover, it was in 2009 - the height of the global crisis - was the harvest at a record high skyscrapers.
The flagship building construction is, of course, the Middle East. Earlier this year, the final height of 818 meters has reached the current world record holder, set of Burj Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The opening ceremony of the building is scheduled for December 2. Surpass themselves in the UAE has not obtained: the construction of a skyscraper Nakheel Tower, which height should be about 1 400 meters, has been postponed for 12-month period.

However, ready to pick up the baton to the neighboring countries. The desire to raise the record to new heights, expressed Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, where the planned implementation of projects under way or ready to soar up more than a kilometer.

Construction sites are more modest and in other countries. This year started just three draft skyscrapers in height from 200 to 360 meters - in Kazakhstan, Thailand and Romania - who will soon become the highest in their respective countries.
This year will see a number of projects, which although they look fantastic, but can be implemented as early as soon as possible. We are talking about objects that represent the unique «fusion» of different types of structures.

For example, the architects of Florence offers to throw a bridge over the River Arno library. But residents of the British capital, which has long been concerned about the mediocrity and the impersonality of London Bridge, will enjoy a proposal to equip its orchards and gardens of vegetables and fruits, Zelenshchikov shops and catering establishments.

Gaining popularity and projects «vertical farm» - high-rise buildings, which can grow crops and raise fish and small livestock. Such facilities are already developing in the United States, Canada, Australia, France and other countries.

Another newfangled trend in construction is called «arkologiya» (architecture + ecology). Its followers claim that due to the construction of giant self-sustaining structures, contains a population of a city, you can reduce the negative human impact on the environment. One of these structures - 365-meter pyramid, which can live 40 thousand people - could appear in New Orleans.

Other architectural ideas already have the right to life. Thus, in the Netherlands in January 2010 should be completed the construction of a floating city - 1 200 houses and apartments, arranged in a single «island». Since the construction is conducted in periodically flooded land, with the arrival of the water of the building will rise on its surface and stay afloat.

Something like this is and «resort of the future» - is a universal design, a cross between an artificial island and the ship. Technical details or the cost of building such a facility is not yet known, however, as the creators say, it can be used in any natural environment.

Large-scale projects, of course, require significant energy resources. The simplest and most universal solution is to use solar energy.

This year was marked by a number of projects - both under construction, and existing so far only on paper. First of all, the world's largest solar power plant, on which Australia stands ready to allocate $ 1 billion power of this energy source should be sufficient for 800 thousand homes.

More modest solar panel intends to build the Vatican, its capacity will be ten times less than the Australian. Nevertheless, it will fully meet the energy needs of the Vatican, which could become the first state, «feeding» only solar energy.

From the Australians with the Europeans did not lag behind the U.S.. This year in Florida to begin construction of the city whose power consumption will also be fully ensured by luminaries.

A key feature of all the above projects is that they have no fundamental obstacles to implementation. So very soon we will be able to see such proposal at the forthcoming exhibitions in overseas real estate.
