In today's cityscapes, they have the tendency to scream out the dreariness and inefficiency of 20th century-based planning and development. Very little is recyclable, space is an increasing concern, and no matter what season or year it may be, its design will forever remain molded in the image of an era long since passed.

We live in the 21st century. Our cityscapes should be alive! They should transform, adapt to newer conditions, and be self-sufficient. Which is where the Nanomatrix comes in. Using advanced nanotechnology, the architects behind its design aim to develop skyscrapers that not only embody the community's needs and wants, but that which is embedded with organic-like systems.

How do they aim to do this?

Step One: Coating the building with Nanoparticles.

Step Two: The particles change the layout according to the needs of the community. The structure can grow and change using both the construction waste and the waste of its residents.

Step Three: The building’s evolution mimics the natural selection mechanism as spaces which are being used will grow and evolve while unused spaces will mutate or collapse and change their purpose.

Step Four: The urban fabric continually evolves in parallel to space-specific changes. Due to the importance of the ground level in crowded cities, buildings will morph in a way that keeps it clear for public use.
