The year 2011 is almost at an end now and its time to look back at a fabulous year gone by that was significant for the whole world in more ways than one. The year 2011 saw some great innovations in terms of design and we had some breath-taking concepts and breakthroughs in home decor, auto and gadgets. They certainly made the world a better place just by having been conceptualized and innovated. Here’s our list of the best designs and concepts that set DesignBuzz on fire in the year 2011:
Representing the emergence of an eco-friendly consciousness within the architectural community, the Bionic Arch proposal by Vincent Callebaut Architecture was created to mark the 100th anniversary of the creation of Taiwan R.O.C. The innovative building concept is significant not only in terms of the tribute it pays to the growing power of the east Asian nation, but also in terms of the emphasis placed on green architecture and incorporation of sustainable elements within upcoming buildings that would be a part of the future of the city’s skyline. The futuristic new concept was commissioned by Taichung City Government to celebrate and promote the accomplishments of the country and the developmental goals it achieved over the last century. The building would be used as a future urban center representing the modern lifestyle of the metropolitan nation and the innovative and groundbreaking architecture looks to promote bio-diversity within the fabric of the city’s architecture itself.
Tornado Proof House
The year 2011 also sadly saw an astonishing number of tornadoes that ravaged the American Midwest and killed people by the hundreds. Since the number and intensity of these tornadoes have been steadily increasing over the past few years thanks in no part to global warming, a concept like the prototype Tornado Proof House could be a real lifesaver if it can be actualized in the coming years. Created by architects at 10 Design, the futuristic tornado-proof house is fitted with a clever set of hydraulics that allow the house to go underground automatically within minutes when a tornado is detected by its sensors. The house will rely on sensors placed throughout the community to detect tornadoes and potentially devastating levels of wind flow and would use automatic triggers to warn residents about a potential tornado. The house combines innovative architecture and sustainable building design that makes it wind- and water-proof as well as completely energy efficient and sustainable.
