Our world changes constantly. Technology is evolving and its use intensifies in every aspect of our lives. Society and culture are changing at the speed of light. But this process seems to skip the field of architecture.

In 2017’s Manhattan, about half of the buildings are more than a hundred years old. If we wanted to keep the city relevant for today’s needs and habits, the waste that cannot be recycled from the ruins of these buildings would cover about 33% of ​​Manhattan. Another problem is the progressive crowded urban fabric which makes it difficult with to cope with physical change and urban renewal.

The use of Nanotechnology in architecture will open new possibilities. We would be able to provide a solution which changes and evolve over time according to the needs of the evolving population. The bureaucratic way of planning and the dependency on architects and constructors would disappear and a new, free age of architecture will arise.

This adjustment of the city will create a new kind of community that is independentof place. Families and companies can grow and evolve, yet remain in the samelocation as spaces develop according to their needs. In time, there will be no more specific definitions for floors, buildings, blocks and neighborhoods, the city will become an undefined assembly of program-dependent spaces.
