TRENDS IN BUILDING ARCHITECTURE - ACP Facades and
the Age of Eco-Architecture Thanks to the advert
of the PC and the internet, things have changed
dramatically over the last two decades or so.
Since the time of the pyramids in ancient Egypt,
buildings have always been an expression of our
culture and technical supremacy. Over the past
few years, there has been a growing trend of
putting premium on what is called green
construction and the popularity is
increasing. There is also a trend which shows
that there is an increase in pressure on
government and private construction firms to
produce more eco-friendly and sustainable
buildings. Prior to World War II modern
architecture was largely concerned with
characteristic images of being light, airy and
cheerful. But by the early thirties this was felt
to be limited. Its range was broadened by the
introduction of natural materials like the stone
wall and by effects of rustically contrasted with
the elegance of new, technically refined
materials.

Then the trends led to preoccupation with mass,
weight, rough textures and deliberate crude
workmanship. Contemporary buildings are designed
to be noticed and to overawe. Some feature
concrete structures wrapped in glass or aluminium
screens (Aluminium Composite Panels) and with
symmetric facades. A growing tendency in the
21st century is eco-architecture. These are
buildings with features that conserve heat and
energy and at times produce their own energy
through solar cells and windmills. Some buildings
integrate gardens, green walls and green roots
into their structures. Other features include the
use of wood and recycled materials. There are
some unusual materials also which are recycled
for use in eco-architecture, like denim from old
blue jeans for insulation and panels made from
paper flakes, bakes earth, flax or coconut or
even bamboo.
