Megastructures

Megastructures refer to large-scale, complex building structures designed to accommodate various uses, such as housing, offices, retail, and recreation. These structures are often characterized by their size, complexity, and innovative use of materials and technology. The term “megastructure” was first used in the 1960s to describe futuristic, high-density urban developments, and since then, it has been used to describe a wide range of architectural projects that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Megastructures often incorporate new technologies and materials, such as prefabrication, modular construction, and advanced building systems, to create buildings that are highly efficient, flexible, and sustainable.
