Question

if you are a science fiction author , how would you design your own house accoirding to your predictions about the future?

Answer 1

There are several concerns in future home construction that have not been considered in historic or traditional architecture that I would incorporate into designing a house.
1.) Energy regulation. My house would have to be of radial design, meaning rooms spaced equidistant from a central point, to take advantage of economical temperature regulation. this minimizes heat loss during the winter from excess surface area radiation, and maximizes air-conditioning efficiency during the summer, since less outer wall is exposed to environmental temperature extremes.
The house would probably be 4 octagonal sections, three stories high, arranged around a square central shaft or staircase. with a chimney. At least part of the house would be underground to take advantage of earth-berm insulation. All the above-ground solid surfaces, (not counting windows) especially the roof, would be completely covered with photovoltaic cells. All lighting inside the house would run from current generated by these cells, a private generator run from wind energy, or burning alcohol or biodiesel. It would be connected to the wide area power grid, but would not depend on it exclusively.
2.) Increasingly violent weather in the future means the house would have to have resistent construction. The radial and squat design, coupled with being partially underground would assist with protection from nearly all violent weather. Locating the building above any possible flood line, but still near transit would also protect both it and it's occupants, allowing quick evacuation in case of attack or forest fire.
2.) fire. No wood would be used in the framing or main construction of the house itself, and would only be used as decoration. Instead of wood, new foamed ceramic concretes, drawn steel alloy and fireproof insulating materials would be used. All furniture would be fire-retardant at worst. Entrance and egress for the building would be available at least three places on each floor. Being partially underground, movement isolating foundations would not be possible, but reinforcing folded barrel structure in the walls would prevent damage up to a 6.8 magnitude earthquake. The house would be a fortress capable of serving as a shelter in case of nuclear attack, civil unrest, poison gas or natural disaster.
all rooms with south, southeast, southwest, east or west sunlight exposure would have large banks of hundreds of air house plants. This would assist with humidity control, temperature control, air quality, and provide a more pleasant environment.
The home would be located in a northern interior state with good water access, or possibly Canada, away from the oceans and mountains, in order to protect it from hurricanes, volcanos, earthquakes, flooding coasts from rising sea levels associated with global warming, and coastal city riots. The surrounding plot of land would be gardened.

Answer 2

I have write some idea in the Answers that it is flying house, can float over a water etc.And house is capable of doing all we have learn of surviving against the bad weather earthquake etc. The house can be twice a size of a container and it has all the system that we have learn of surviving all disaster just simply flying away from it and it has also has eatable plant and allot of seeds for planting in a special vault that is protected against moist so it will not destroy the seed.
We can do it already actually the Helicopter can lift up a container. If the news warned as that tornado are heading towards New York then many can just fly away and go back again when all is over.
Every home is like a Noah Arc?
For one family........................
And for the Tornado active country i have also one idea of house for them if they don't want flying. Do you ever so spider that is under a leaves and when the other insect passes by the spider just simply jump out and grab the insect?
The system is the same for the house but this time the house simply pop up and down or slide in and out, so when the tornado comes the house simply hide under the soil the roof is strong and there is a lock for the roof in the edge of the roof so the roof will not blown away. The system is that it also must have protecting against flooding so the house would be like a sub-system etc. It is up to the people how they will build to survive weather changing planet ours?
If i am only wealthy i have build it already.

Answer 3

I would make it as easy as possible to visualize. Why? If I design it with reality in mind, the audience will not be able to pick anything they can identify with, so they will lose interest.

Therefore i will stick to a few simple things and make that as futuristic as possible, goofy ideas are fine. Vacuum cleaner- you can play with a future concept. Steaming kettles, egg beaters, doorbells.

Answer 4

As far as I know an e-book is one that you can read online.
