  Eko Atlantic City A planned city called Eko Atlantic City is being built in Lagos State, Nigeria, on land that was once part of the Atlantic Ocean. The metropolis, dubbed the "new Dubai," plans to have at least 250,000 citizens. It was also intended to aid in halting further coastal erosion in Lagos State. With an autonomous energy source to power it, Eko Atlantic City should be able to meet demands for lodgings in the financial, commercial, residential, and tourism sectors. The city intends to have low carbon emissions while being clean, sustainable, and energy-efficient. Due of ongoing construction-related coastal erosion and ocean surges, the project has drawn criticism. Local communities in the area have been inundated by ocean water surges, causing residents to migrate and even taking lives. There are concerns regarding accessibility as well.

The areas with the fastest urbanisation and population increase have shown the most evidence of this trend. In developing nations, master planned communities are viewed as a potential method to move away from resource- and agricultural-based economies. The growing threat of climate change is another motivator for this trend of new cities. Ideas promoting greater use of technology, better integration with the environment, and even the construction of floating towns at sea have all been investigated and put into practise. The way that cities have typically grown has been utterly turned on its head, and this is just the beginning. Here are seven planned cities from around the globe that fundamentally alter how urban life is organised. Smart Forest City Plans for a wooded smart city near Cancun, Mexico, aimed to

Byzantine – 330 AD to 1453 With Near Eastern elements, Byzantine architecture was a development of Roman architecture. The Greek cross plan was used in church construction, which frequently comprised intricate dome structures supported by large piers. Buildings also became more geometrically complex. Moorish – 711 to 1492 In North Africa, as well as in some regions of Spain and Portugal, where the Andalusians (Moors) ruled between 711 and 1492, Moorish architecture is the articulated form of Islamic architecture. Muqarnas, horseshoe arches, voussoirs, domes, crenellated arches, lancet arches, ogee arches, courtyards, and colourful tile work known as azulejo in Spanish and Portuguese are typical characteristics of Moorish architecture. Hoysala 1000 to 1300 The Hoysala Empire ruled over the area that is now known as Karnataka, an Indian state, and this led to the development of the building style known as Hoysala architecture. When it ruled the Southern Deccan Plateau region

What is an architectural style? An architecture style is a group of outside influences that affect a building's form, construction method, and materials. This allows the structure to be recognised and described historically and aesthetically. The majority of architectural styles evolve over time as new opportunities and emerging styles are created by shifting trends in fashion, technology, religion, and belief systems. Because of this, the majority of styles adhere to and can be categorised according to time. A style may evolve and alter at any time, and it frequently coexists with a number of others both locally and internationally. However, if the proper individual picks it up, it can travel from its origin to the other side of the planet and is not restricted to just one place or region. This frequently leads to its growth and change into the new or modified style to adopt. Architectural styles Here, we list the major architectural movements that contributed to the development o

Roman Architecture altered civilization in five ways. Roman architecture was so groundbreaking that much of it is still in use today and still has an impact. It should come as no surprise that a culture the scale of the Roman empire produced ideas, fashions, and even historical landmarks that are still in use today. There are nearly too many effects on modern architecture to name them all, but a few important features of Roman architecture altered not only the built environment but also the very nature of modern civilization. 1.       1.   Romans erected structures as a show of strength Emperors celebrated their rank and reputations with lavish public works of architecture, and this resulted in the construction of many magnificent works of Roman architecture that served as a way to demonstrate the dominance of the Romans. One of the biggest constructions from that time period still stands today is the Arch of Constantine, which was built in 315 AD to memorialize the Battle of Milvian B

Architecture and the role of art Architects and designers have long been captivated by the connection between art and architecture. A difficult procedure can be involved in finding the correct balance.  Art-chitecture The question of whether architecture is art has been debated for decades, with some fervently arguing that it is a form of self-expression and, therefore, an art form. There is a strong case to be made that architecture is not art, despite the fact that eye-catching structures like the Baku Entertainment Centre in Azerbaijan or the NOI Techpark in Bolzano, Italy, make the opposite claim. Nevertheless, there is room for art in the field of architecture. Buildings and environments have been altered for thousands of years by the manner that art has been incorporated into them, frequently leading to a fusion that resulted in spaces that were beautiful, breath-taking, or inspirational depending on the client's and architect's aims. The combination of art and arch
