4 futuristic building materials to look out for in 2017

Ever get the feeling you are living in the future? Construction materials are becoming increasingly advanced and sophisticated, presenting futuristic visions of buildings made from almost alien components. With 2017 fast approaching, WorldBuild365 showcases four building materials to watch out for over the next year and beyond. Shotcrete: Shock-proof concrete A team of researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has developed a unique type of conductive concrete that could prove a game changer. The brainchild of Professors Chris Tuan and Lim Nguyen, Shotcrete works by absorbing and reflecting either man-made or naturally occurring electromagnetic waves.

Biomimicry Chair - Lilian van Daal

This conceptual chair - designed by design graduate Lilian van Daal - is influenced by plant cells; constructed from a single 3D-printed material. It is seen as an alternative to traditional furniture wherein many materials are used and glued together. The structure is designed to function in the place of sturdy support materials where needed, while thinning elsewhere to function much in the way foam might in cushioned pads. The result is a seat that is comfortable, less wasteful to produce and far easier to recycle.
