Some Thoughts About the Future of Intelligent Buildings and Smart Transportation
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the ever accelerating advances in science and technology, it seems that almost any dream in the science fiction can become true. This paper discusses two topics that are closely related to our daily life; buildings and transportation. Although the paper was inspired by Science-Fiction Prototyping (SFP), rather than using a conventional story based approach I have adopted an essay-style to extrapolate forward my thoughts on current living conditions and trends of technology development, to explore various possibilities for future buildings and transportation For example, I present ideas for an intelligent building concept motivated by the behavior of sunflowers to improve the regulation of natural light and heat absorption in buildings. In addition, I have mused on a possible solution to current traffic congestion problems. The motivation for these ideas is to make our life more convenient and comfortable in the future.
