Predictions for Architectural Design and Construction in 2025
As we approach 2025, the architectural design and construction industry is on the cusp of transformative changes driven by technological advancements, sustainability initiatives, and evolving human needs. From smart buildings equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) devices to the rapid assembly of modular constructions, the landscape is shifting towards greater efficiency, resilience, and adaptability.
Here's our Top 5 Predictions for 2025.
1. Smart Buildings and IoT Integration
Smart IoT office
Automation and Control Systems
Utilizing IoT devices to manage lighting, heating, security, and other systems will enhance efficiency and user comfort. Adaptive and responsive spaces that adjust to user needs in real-time, such as dynamic lighting and temperature control based on occupancy and activity, will become more common.
2. Modular and Prefabricated Construction
