What will the house look like in the future? Could it have gardens on its walls or a pool with fish for dinner? Scientists predict that these are possible. And one thing for sure is that the houses will be as smart as possible.
The flying house
There are wings(翅膀)on both sides of the house, and there are many different kinds of wings that you can choose from. Wherever you want to go, the flying house can take you there in a short time. When the house is in the sky, it will form a cover right away so that the temperature inside won't change a lot.
The garden house
This design is about the future of food. There will be houses with special walls. On the outside wall are the gardens of the houses. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and onions on them. So every day, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
The lizard(蜥蜴)house
Like a lizard, changing colour with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat. During winter days, it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
The tree house
Many scientists in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even make the air fresher for the house. The “root(根)” of the house is deep down the ground.
Life in the future will be quite different. People will live a new lifestyle. You can see many changes in the future world.
