Structural Transparency

Consumer audacity is reflected in aesthetically exposed structural designs

Implications - As consumers become less self-conscious due to more open and exposed forms of media, aspects of everyday living are becoming more transparent to help aid a liberated lifestyle. Moving away from the traditional notions of at-home privacy, consumers are turning to structural transparency to blur the lines between public and private space.
Trend Themes
1. Structural Transparency - Consumers are embracing less self-consciousness and more transparency in their lifestyles.
2. Glass Extensions - Older, historical properties are being given a contemporary edge with the use of glass extensions.
3. Reflective Minimalism - Clean lines and minimalist design converge with reflective surfaces to create modern living spaces that inspire awe.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate and Architecture - Innovation opportunities include the creation of bold and unique new properties that cater to an emerging desire for transparency and minimalist design.
2. Interior Design and Furnishings - Opportunities here include designing furnishings that complement and enhance the aesthetics of transparent and reflective living spaces.
3. Materials Science and Manufacturing - This industry can help develop new materials and manufacturing techniques geared towards the creation of sturdy and visually stunning transparent structures.
