UP MTech student Ramansh Bajpai created a ‘transparent’ concrete which is 23% stronger, 15% lighter and free from carbon dioxide! It is also much cheaper and can reduce electricty use by 30%.
Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) has an ambitious new project in China that consists of three new mesmerizing skyscrapers linked at multiple points by skybridges.
Cold temperatures, biting wind, heavy snow and slippery roads are the common challenges that trouble or even interrupt winter commutes. However, for students and faculty at a college in Northeast China, who have been severely affected by the recent cold wave and blizzard, their commute has been made... Read more
The London Tall Buildings Survey, published by New London Architecture, provides a detailed insight of the new skyscrapers. MailOnline has taken a look at the projects currently in the works.

A new project in Los Angeles is trying to cool the city by painting streets with a reflective coating to bounce away heat from the sun. Other cities like Phoenix are undertaking similar efforts.

Breaking is broken, from lifts to electric trains, cars to pushbikes, applying breaks is simply swapping useful energy for bad useless energy, ie entropy. So it goes!
Would love this, around the square where I live, there is a hidden huge underground car park, a statue of soldiers that fell in Africa, the #i360 tower and just out to sea there is a huge array of wind turbines – each should have their own qr code I could use to find out more – oh and Oscar Wilde crashed his carriage out side my flat whilst looking for a, ahem, partner for the night/hour. History is everywhere so qr codes could help us from losing it.
Great idea, there are so many historic sites in the UK, each just needs a qr code to inform tourists and locals what history lies beneath their feet, even if it just linked to the Wikipedia page.
Shanghai's famous historic sites can be accessed with QR codes
Wow, didn’t realise this was a thing, and has been for a while – so yeah and relatives can instantly access a gallery of images of the deceased before they died, kind of a good idea I guess. “They can just upload the photos to the website and we can build their website for them,” Lori Miller says. “They give us a biography of their loved ones, and they can upload videos and backgrounds and music.”
QR Codes For Headstones Keep Dearly Departed Close
A couple in Philadelphia is reinventing gravesite memorials. Using the popular QR code technology, they’ve developed a business in which mourners can digitally connect to their loved ones with a scan of a smartphone.
Translucent concrete is a technology that can make buildings brighter and more energy efficient.
This is so cool! A wonder of modern architecture.
Skyscraper bridges are an interesting and futuristic concept for urban cities.
Here’s another hanging bridge project in China that will connect 3 skyscrapers.

Check out these two skyscrapers in New York that will be connected by a 630-foot-high skybridge!

With hanging bridges, you can say goodbye to harsh weather when moving from one building to another.
Skybridges are a fantastic idea that can help connect buildings with crowded skyscrapers.
Can they make this paint for cars?

I found it on Amazon!
Amazing idea. Such paints can cool the world and reverse the effects of global warming.

Thermal reflecting paint can make building coolers, eliminating the need for expensive AC cooling in the summer.

This can come in handy during severe heatwaves.
In India, people coat their roofs with solar reflective paints to keep their homes cool.
Saudi Arabia is currently building a 106-mile linear city with no cars or streets.

The linear city design is an old concept going back to the 19th century.
There are construction companies already using 3D printing technology. However, current costs are out of reach for many people.
3D printing is the future of the construction industry!

Someone already has this amazing idea – recycling plastics to make roofing tiles.
Solar roof tiles are another excellent idea if you want to make your building eco-friendly.
Check out this living green roof. I don’t think you can get any more environmentally friendly than this!
“Not only can today’s technologies cut elevators’ energy use, but they also can return energy to the building grid.”
Breaking is broken, from lifts to electric trains, cars to pushbikes, applying breaks is simply swapping useful energy for bad useless energy, ie entropy. So it goes!
Not new, a but cool idea.
Loving these magnetic elevators- that can go sideways too like a tube.

Googled it, omg they exist. kind of a good idea as it connects you to the person, hopefully not to their dead facebook profile either.
