Six architectural innovations that can be life-changing

Without architecture, we won’t have places to live in and enjoy life. Throughout history, we’ve seen how it has evolved and shaped our world. Every nation has its own take on architecture and design, and each structure built has contributed to the world as we know it.

Innovations are important for our world to keep on growing. We live in a compressed society, with little space for breaths and connection with nature. Urban forests seem to be an idea we’ll be able to see in the near future. City dwellers need to be reintroduced to nature. John Eilermann sees that the only way to do it is by incorporating it with urban life. Bookcase staircases are a huge win for booklovers and history enthusiasts, as some museums and libraries in Europe already have them.

The Royal Children’s Hospital and its designers are aiming to build a hospital that isn’t terrifying for children. With “distractions” made of interactive playgrounds, a movie theater with bean bags, and star-gazing areas, pain experienced by children can be mitigated. A wet room bathroom is a bathroom that’s virtually an all-shower bathroom, with no sliding or glass doors to separate the shower area from the rest of the bathroom.

John Eilermann considers the first wooden skyscraper and other nature-inspired structures to be his favorite among the innovations the world will see in the near future. Not only are these highly sustainable, but also provide people the right appreciation, attention, and opportunity to care for Mother Nature.

Hi, my name is John Eilermann, and I’m an architecture student based in St. Louis, Missouri. Despite the strict requirements I have to accomplish to obtain my degree in architecture, I’m having the time of my life learning about the beauty of the field I chose.
