INTRODUCTION

Designing The Future is refer to a preparation or an effort thatwe make to design the future.

Peter Joseph said that “although many of us feel we can preparefor our future by thinking, acting and learning using presentmethods and values, nothing is farther from the truth –especially in today’s rapidly changing world. Each succeedinggenerations inherit the values, accomplishments, hopes,successes and failings of previous generations. And they inheritsthe results of the decisions made by those generations”.

So, we as a today’s generation must play a role in the shaping oftomorrow’s world. We should design something that can directthe future; not just one’s own, but that of society in general; andnot just for one’s generation, but for those to follow. Not only isscience making it possible, but it is now vital.

Sustainable is at the heart of this concept. The

architecture embodies a contemporary design influenced

by traditional indigenous architecture for the tropical

climate which is respectful of nature and the ecosystem as

well as local cultural values.

Each habitable room will face a picturesque view of

greenery and water elements, bringing nature indoors so

as to ignite the creative energy.

the buildings will be highly energy efficient, with

tropical microclimate features such ah large overhangs

and well-ventilated spaces. The facilities will be built

along contour lines, creating green environments and a

reduction in energy needs.
