Elegant Simplicity
Today, your kitchen is arguably the area around which homes are built. It gets maximum footfall. If a home could be personified, I would not mind calling the kitchen its heart.
Updating your kitchen during a major home renovation is a worthy thought at any time. Let me take you through a few innovative ideas which are befitting of a kitchen in your new dream home.

Our kitchen spaces have already undergone a few subtle (and distinct) transformations over the last decade. Paying due reverence to survey results; they are the most loved area of our homes. Present is always a great time to live in but future is a great place my dear friends. We do so much daydreaming about future.
I quite liked a write-up which talked about how Sydney would look in the year 2050. In my recess hours I often imagine how kitchens would look like in the year 2063, some 50 years from now.

3D printed homes anyone? Well! It could have been an outer space fantasy about a decade ago but today we can at least spare it a session of noontime dreaming. Dennis Burger for the website “Technology Tell” writes why the idea is fascinating and at the same time a little impractical (at least with the present resources we have).

Today’s unpredictable weather pattern, polluted environment, and seismic activities make it difficult for us to live peacefully without fear of becoming victims of this changing world. An interesting thought is presented by Rachel Armstrong wherein mankind’s future depends on the creation of living cities.
Our homes, building infrastructures, and cities in general were built without any regard to the negative effects that they’ll incur to our environment. Aside from continually polluting the environment, the increase in population created a serious issue on water consumption. Harmful chemicals are produced daily causing our bodies to slowly deteriorate along with the deterioration of the environment. Our homes can’t even protect us from earthquakes and floods. When nature becomes our enemy, we are sure to lose.
Armstrong suggests the idea of creating living cities to help with water supply issues, pollution, seismic activities, and inevitable disasters is certainly a wise concept. Using protocell technology and synthetic biology, buildings and homes can be healed. Protocell coating can make static buildings into a living one allowing them to repair themselves, filter water and gather morning dews, neutralize toxins in the air, and slowly cleaning the environment. These new materials will co-exist with the old infrastructures. The living cities will become guardians to those living inside their walls.
