America's new buildings will not only look cooler, they'll be better for the environment, too.
The American Institute of Architects has projected an increase in spending by more than eight percent in 2016, and that growth overflowing into 2017 with more than a six percent increase. Once the nation's leading construction forecasters' projections are factored in (i.e. Wells Fargo Securities, Dodge Data & Analytics, and HIS-Global Insight), the survey predicts very healthy growth and a continued demand for office, hotel, manufacturing, and recreation space.
After years of challenging economic conditions, the construction sector is finally stepping with very solid footing. With lower energy bills, an actual budget for 2016, and improved employment figures, the construction industry is looking towards a very favorable horizon. The American Institute of Architects also surveyed the nation's leading individual architects to get an idea of the new design trends for the next ten years.
These trends seem to have the planet's best interest in mind as the designs integrate water conservation and solar and wind power generation. These innovative building methods, along with new building materials, the increased use of natural lighting, and new lighting technology systems project lean and practical construction practices.
