Homes of the Future Synopsis

In the future i believe everything will eventually get so polluted, that we will have to live in bubble houses just so we can breathe properly. Our bubble houses will be pumped with artificial oxygen that was discovered by scientists in the year 2015. Outside these bubble houses, things will look eroded and the air will be polluted with thick smog, as a consequence to the carbon emissions being produced by todays society. The new homes we will have to live in will be modern and made to the highest quality and standard because we will not be supposed to leave the homes. The homes were part of a collaborative project from graphic designers to architects. The homes will be fittest with the latest in technology and entertainment systems such as the body simulator 4000 and the new virtual roller coster.
Outside the main home will be platforms made to re=create the feeling of being outside, the protective glass shields will protect tenants from the old polluted air. Plants will also be able to grow, and it is also possible to keep animals in these domes also. As this home is designed to be lived in 24/7 scientists came up with a feature that lets the tennant control the temperature and weather, from humid summer days to snowing winter wonderlands. 
The shell that makes up the bubble is made out of re-inforced steel, the outer bubble shells are made from a newly discovered type of glass names after the creator, Hamish.

International Style Inspiration



International Style Research

The International style is associated with clean, readable graphic design. Constructivism was a movement associated with International Style in this movement artists focused on trying to link art with concrete ideas and life.
During this time the term New Typography was created it represents  the changes in typography at this time which included bold rules, asymmetry, sans serif lettering, orthogonal compositions, negative space and CLARITY.
This style used mathematical grids to provide structure, Sans Serif typefaces (mainly Helvetica) and  black and white photography in place of hand drawn illustrations. 
The overall effect was simple, tightly structured and clear designs.
Designers in this era include Paul Rand, Joseph Muller Brockman, Armin Hoffman, Emil Ruder and Jan Tschichold.
