Such predictions are based on the analysis of the current situation. So, trend forecasts are literally the lists of the freshest ideas. They might be about the usage of new technologies like VR and AI in architecture, about the newest trends in ecodesign, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By studying such forecasts, architects can find out how the approach to commercial and living spaces is changing. Also, they can get to know how architectural design integrates with other fields, such as anthropology and environmental science. Architecture specialists can learn about the innovative types of buildings that are gaining popularity. These are passive houses, vertical villages, 3D-printed homes, and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trend forecasting is the perfect trigger for architectural inspiration. It can help architects come up with a new approach to the things they are used to or decide to try something absolutely new. All in all, trend forecasts of the architectural industry are a breath of fresh air for a creative mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h2  blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image  '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><small><\/small>#2.

These are masters in the field of architecture who they admire and look up to. Also, any architect has peer colleagues whose works impress and evokes their interest. Learning from these people and exchanging ideas with them can become a great source of architectural inspiration. So, what is the best way to do it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oftentimes, well-known architecture experts give lectures at different industry events. These can be expos, conferences, etc. In the course of lectures, they share their experiences and stories behind their greatest projects. Such events are a true source of inspiration. Attendants can not just learn much valuable information during the lecture but also ask questions to the lecturer. This sort of communication and exchanging ideas with the best professionals in the industry will definitely inspire any architect. And after such events, the inspiration for new architectural designs won\u2019t be long in coming.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h2  blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image  '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><small><\/small>#3.

Here, one can find videos of experts from many industries discussing a wide range of topics. However, this source is totally worth any architect\u2019s attention. If an architecture specialist wants to widen horizons and learn about the most unusual and groundbreaking projects, TED is just the right choice for that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main goal of TED is spreading worthy ideas. They\u2019re doing it for free by posting talks online for all interested viewers. But how to get inspired for creating new designs here? After typing the word \u201carchitecture\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the search bar of the website, one will find a goldmine for architectural inspiration. Now, there are over 500 talks and blog posts in which architects tell about their works. Apart from more or less regular projects, there are the most unique, unconventional ideas. Here, one can get to know about a museum wing in a giant bubble, or about the Seed Cathedral in the UK. Or even about how to turn the sands of the Sahara desert into architecture objects with the help of a \u2026 bacteria!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, TED talks bring up completely out-of-the-box topics that can become a great source of inspiration. For example, here one can find talks about the relation between architecture and war in Syria, or about the influence of architectural design on music, etc. Some of these ideas might be disputable, some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 mind-blowing, or hard to agree with.

This means that before crafting a new project, they visualize lots of variations of the future design in their mind. What a pity that no one can see it at this stage. But wait. There\u2019s a technology that allows doing exactly that! It is called architectural 3D visualization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just imagine: now any project can be visualized in photoreal quality months before its construction starts. What\u2019s more, CGI can realistically depict those projects that will not be built at all for some reason. These might be the most fantastic, futuristic designs, shown in any environment. Isn\u2019t it a precious source of inspiration? <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cgiflythrough.com\/blog\/photorealistic-3d-animation-entourage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photorealistic 3D animation<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and imagery can show non-existent buildings at various angles, in any lighting, weather, and season. Which makes CGI a perfect trigger for architectural inspiration. So, it is a wise move to regularly check architectural CGI communities such as Cgarchitect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div id=\"av-layout-grid-1\" class=\"av-layout-grid-container entry-content-wrapper main_color av-flex-cells    avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  submenu-not-first container_wrap sidebar_right\">\r\n    <div class=\"flex_cell no_margin av_one_half  avia-builder-el-24  el_before_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-first    \" style=\"background: #000000; vertical-align: middle; padding: 30px; background-color: #2c2c2c;\">\r\n    <div class=\"flex_cell_inner\">\r\n    <section class=\"av_textblock_section \">\r\n    <div class=\"avia_textblock  av_inherit_color \" style=\"font-size: 15px; color: #ffffff;\">\r\n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px;\"><\/span><\/p><h5 class=\"av-special-heading-tag \" itemprop=\"headline\" style=\"\r\n        margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 17px; margin-top: 0px;\"><small><\/small>Want to know the cost of your CGI project?<\/h5>Contact us to learn the exact price of your 3D animation!\r\n    <p><\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n    <div class=\"avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  \"><a class=\"avia-button avia-button-fullwidth   avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-color-custom custom-class\" style=\"color: #444444;background-color: #ffffff;margin-top: 10px;\" href=\"https:\/\/cgiflythrough.com\/get-a-quote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"avia_iconbox_title\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\">GET YOUR PROJECT ESTIMATED<\/span><\/a><\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"flex_cell no_margin av_one_half  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-last\" style=\"background: #000000; vertical-align: middle; padding: 30px; background-color: #2c2c2c;\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" width=\"100%\" height=\"150\">\r\n    <source src=\"https:\/\/cgiflythrough.com\/video\/Hotel_Resort_360_2020.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\">\r\n    Your browser does not support the video tag.<\/video><\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"flex_cell_inner\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h2  blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image  '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><small><\/small>#5.

This practice usually results in coming up with completely novel approaches and ideas. Bisociation can work wonders in any field including architectural design. To illustrate this, here\u2019s a story about how a pack of cigarettes helped to design a skyscraper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two architects met for lunch in Chicago to discuss the concept of Willis Tower. It was supposed to become the tallest building in the world at the time. The architecture experts discussed that a series of tubes with shared walls is a good way to support a very tall building. But this would make the structure too heavy compared to its steel frames. Suddenly, one of the architects looked down at his pack of cigarettes. Then he started pushing and pulling them out of the pack at different heights. He suddenly realized that if all tubes were staggered vertically, their slenderness and structural integrity would be kept. This way, by linking two unrelated objects, a skyscraper and a pack of cigarettes, a completely novel design was born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This story proves that architectural inspiration can hide in unexpected places. But those who practice bisociation are always able to find it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h2  blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image  '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><small><\/small>#6.

This platform is the best image sharing service and is perfectly designed for creating mood boards. Why is it important for architects? Inspiration is a fragile thing. So, architects should save every beautiful picture that evokes their creative spirit. And a Pinterest mood board is a great tool to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On this platform, users can pin the visuals they like on separate boards depending on their category. This way, architects can get easy access to a well-organized library of inspirational images. They can save inspiring pins in any category, be it eco-friendly construction materials, ancient architecture, sustainable houses, or whatever else. It is also recommended to set some boards that are not related to architecture. These can be ones with artworks, fashion looks, nature, and so on. Maybe such boards will not help to find architectural inspiration but they will help to stay inspired and creative. Which is crucial for working on new designs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h2  blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image  '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><small><\/small>#7.

But real work starts when one processes this knowledge and then creates something new on their own. For example, they might write an article about architectural design. Running a blog helps its author to structure their thoughts and to share valuable experiences with others. In a blog, an architect can write about their work, keep a record of inspiration, and communicate with an engaged audience. And it is no secret that a new understanding of old things might come in a discussion. That is why blogging is a really good way of discovering fresh ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Architectural inspiration comes from new impressions. To get them, architects should study trend forecasts, attend architecture lectures, and listen to TED talks. Visual inspiration can be found in 3D architectural visualization communities and on Pinterest.
