What happens if we couldnt save the world and it really goes BOOM? And even after that how would be the life for survivors? What kind of technology would they be needing to live in such a world where volcanos , floods are seasonal or re-occuring on big scale over predicted years? What if towns needed to move from one to another place after the predicted years, how can we cope up with that? This Pandemic taught us that anything can happen in a blink of time and we can never be ready for things as such. The real idea of Utopia is not when we solve all the problems in future and live in harmony, but how we become ready for whatever coming our way and cope with it without any losses. We need a solution in which we can re-locate and respond to an emergency as a normal evacutaion drill without losing our normal lifestyle or loss of economy. This book will show you Nano technology at its peak. We are not just talking about building small scale models, houses but whole towns and cities pre planned by an AI integrated with Augmented Reality control. People now can carry around their own houses and other possesions and relocate anywhere in the world, start a town and then move again without feeling homesick and lost. An advanced system of cities where everything is blueprint based.

INTRODUCTION The world is changing Mankind’s actions have not only given us the ability to fundamentally transform not just our everyday lives, but also our institutions, our planet, and the basic building block of life itself, since the agricultural revolution. Where previously having a computer in every house sounded absurd, there is now a computer in every pocket - and some of the world’s brightest brains are working on putting a computer inside every brain as well. Hyper-accelerated technical developments are giving access to knowledge and welfare that would have been unthinkable just a decade ago, but also exposing us to new security and environmental threats that, if left uncontrolled, might be disastrous.
al revolution has mankind’s actions given us the agency to fundamentally alter not only our daily lives, but our institutions, our planet and the very building block of life itself. Where once a computer in every home seemed laughable, there’s now a computer in every pocket – with some of the greatest minds around the globe looking to put a computer inside every brain too. Hyper – accelerated growth in technological advancements is allowing access to information and welfare that would have seemed impossible little more than decade ago, while also opening us up to new security and ecological challenges which, if left unchecked, could prove catastrophic.
Not since the advent of the agricultur14
With each passing day, our lives become ever more entwined with and dependent upon technology
15
Our lives are becoming increasingly entangled with and dependent on technology with each passing day. Despite this, we have the impression that we are learning less and less about the technologies we use, how they work, and what their manufacturers are aiming for. This book aims to rectify the situation. Its goal is to provide as an introduction to some of the most intriguing and relevant technological breakthroughs and concepts currently being created or hypothesised upon. Some chapters will cover the cutting edge of what is available today, describing gadgets that you can order right now with the tap of a smartphone app, while others will discuss ideas that may not come to fruition in your children’s children’s One of which, i am going to talk about in the coming chapters. A technology which will change en-
tirely the way how we will live in this world and what will become of it. How far can we go and what kind of architecture would we see if this technology comes into the track. The name of this book as states ‘My house in my Pocket’ tells that if we could really have houses as portable thing. Well, it is possible and thats what the book will explain you. It tells you about the technological advancement we have reached and how using them in a way we could achieve such technology. Over that, how would be the building laws and role of an architect would be in a world where people can create their own houses and can build anywhere. All, however, will show you not only what the scientists and technicians of the world are looking to build, but what these devices, algorithms and ways of thinking will let us become.

URGENCIES The recent Pandemic taught us that world could go upside down and the cause could be as small as an unseeable virus and this changed everything, it disrupted our everyday life, our economy, people’s livelihood. Not only it hit us countrywide but also individually in our own ways. Due to the lockdown, many people lost their jobs, pushed their year plans further, also due to poverty and no jobs; the suicidal rates were up in poor countries due to covid. If one small virus could shut down the whole world, how do we deal with the climate change and large scale disaster? Floods, Volcano eruptions, Land-
slides, Asteroids hitting earth, terrorists attacks, etc. We need to be ready for any of such disaster, whether be natural or manmade and cope with it in no time. People’s lives hould not be affected nor the economy of the country. We saw in this pandemic, we were out of hospital beds due to which lots of people suffered. After an earthquake or other natural disaster, thousands of people are homeless, there should be an quick solution of housing for them in no time. And why just any housing, why not rebuild their same house as it is in a blink of an eye.

WHAT happens if we couldn’t save the world and it really goes BOOM? WHAT kind of technology would we need to live in such a world where volcanos , floods are seasonal or re-occurring on big scale over predicted years? WHAT if towns needed to move from one to another place after the predicted years, how can we cope up with that? WHAT type of a city system do we need which cope up the damage, fall in economy and the time lost in recovering things getting all back to normal i.e. socially, mentally and economical?

NEXT LEVEL
The world we know levels up every century, its almost impossible to go decade back and see the same world as now back then. A century difference is really something, if you could ever go back a century you will find a whole new different world which would be hardly
recognizable, probably suffocating at some point cause we are so used to the advancement and the daily technology we use. I personally dont think it would be easy.

1900
But looking at the advancements we have made over the centuries,

you may notice things are shrinking down and down right till the molecular level. A computer which took a whole room is now just a small chip, not so far away future we will be having computers in our brain. No monitors, No CPU, no extra accessories. Same

goes for telephones, shrinking and slimming down day by day, so to be just an hologram in the coming future. But why not buildings?

RESEARCH
Why did we fall back on shrinking the houses, building, overall architecture. Is massive and big structures is what denotes architecture? Why not go ‘ Nano Architecture’? Yes, we have achieved many types and styles of architecture over these centuries but the size is same, nonetheless today’s architecture is more simple shaped compared to the old complex styles of architecture. Why never attempt to shrink it down? Imagine carrying your whole house with you while going a vacation around the world. You could never feel homesick ever. And i am not just talking about tents and temperary houses. The very house you live in now, the very house you grew your entire childhood in, you can have it anytime anywhere. How would be a world where we could carry everything we own in our pockets?
Figure 5: Sketch of questions.
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS? The members of a submarine crew shrink to tiny size and are implanted into the body of a sick man in the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage, in the hopes of repairing damage to his brain from the inside. We still haven’t mastered the shrink ray after half a century, but the idea of deploying microscopic technology within the body to promote health and help recovery in illness and injury is one that’s being researched – and actively developed. Well we have been watching movies and TV series where we have came across theories of shrinking or atomic compression like in the movie Ant-Man. Well we are still really far away from achieving something like that but it aint impossible. Well, after researching in the depth there could be multiple theories how we can achieve this, lets say for the sake of the anime Dragonball that we will be using capsules to store all our data which can be carried in our pockets anywhere we go hassle-free. So these capsules could have our entire house in it. The ways of fitting an building into a small capsule could be; Compressed space,Atomic compression and molecular blueprint. Spacetime teleportation and atomic compression could be a way but looking at current technology we are reaching heights in terms of 3D printing and Nanotech which seems more promising and practical. 22

HOW FAR ARE WE ON THE 3D PRINTING? Well, we know this that buildings now can be printed and we are having a huge advancement in the 3D Printing field. In the next few decades, we will reach the pinnacle of 3D printing technology. By next decade, every house would be having an 3D printer and soon you can download food from internet and print it from your chair.
Figure 7: Food 3d printing technology
What about buildings? There are many firms and companies all over the world, competiting each other against their technology and who is going to achieve the best, fast and cheap solution for housing. A Chinese company now plans to print a seven-meter high intricate temple using 3D printing technology. In Texas, a whole neighbourhood was printed for the low income people. These 3D-printed homes can be built for less than $4,000 in just 24 hours. It produce almost zero carbon waste and remains functional in terrains where there may be a lack of power, water, or typical labor infrastructure.
Figure 8: Applications of 3D Printing.

Figure: Project Milestone is a five-house project in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. The first completed house already has occupants – Harrie Dekkers and Elize Lutz – and is the first legally habitable 3D-printed house in Europe. Figure 9: First 3D Printed house in Europe
3D Printing could be one of the potential solution to achieve our aim of an house capsule. The capsule could contain encoded blueprint data which when connected to the nano printer over the site would give the instructions and the printer would just start building your house. But even as it is, 3DP technology do have some limitation which in coming years hopefully would be solved. Currently the 3D Printers cannot print the house 100% themselves, it needs an human assist for assembling the horizontal members, so the printers are mostly good for vertical casting. Another is, the machines for now cost a lot of fortunes and would take lot of space. The technology we want to achieve should be having total portability and could be build anywhere in the world, from city to
countryside, even jungles or any land we wish to build. Thus 3D Printing does have potential to change the world in coming years about how we construct houses and buildings. It should be the future before the house capsules technology comes and maybe the bridge between now and what we want to achieve. I would say the most likely route would be nano machines. The capsules would have tiny robots in them that would be programmed to create the desired item out of whatever material was immediately available. A lot can be built out of carbon , which is readily available in dirt and rocks. If they could build using carbon nano tubes which are stronger than steal, they could make almost anything. We will discuss this further in the coming chapters. 25

THE IDEA Matter Manipulation is the ability to affect matter at the atomic level. So, being able to disintegrate matter or reshape it into anything - you just rearrange the molecules that make it. The idea is to create an organic world which would take care of itself at times of damage, repair or build. You wont need 50 men, 10 construction trucks and thousands of tools to build a building. Let the matter take the form itself and generate the structure how and what we want. One architect which his smart glasses and hand signs is enough to build an entire building in just matter of minutes or maybe less. Lets give the matter life which would interact with our brain for about what form it should take or maybe just disintegrate into the thin air. Remember in the movie Man of steel, how the technology shown was totally manipulatable. Ofcourse, Kyrpton is way more advanced than earth and the matter isnot even available of the earth. But think about it, what if we could be able to achieve it? What if we make every atom around us, smart? The very dust particles infitne number of them, flying around, laying on the ground, etc is controllable and could be used by any of this to form shapes, things or maybe even your house.
Figure 12: Morph technology at Krypton planet.
If matter on earth becomes smart and can be manipulated by humans on will, imagine how regenerative our world would become, like a starfish mechanism if any disaster befalls us, we can grow back again the next second. The ultimate solution for any cause of disaster, our lives wont be affected nor the economy shall fall. Thats the final goal. Making the world an regenerative space where everything will feel alive cause of technology. A world where you roam around the streets with your house car and everything you posses in your pocket watching the sky full of dragons flying with uniforms through your hololens, all the shops would be digital and housing wont be a problem anymore. Emergency architecture would be at its peak. As many housing colonies or hospitals could be build and deleted on demand without any trouble.

It’s challenging to keep up with the remarkable breakthroughs we’re experiencing in our everyday lives, let alone adding AR and VR worlds to the mix. Smart homes, artificial intelligence (AI), and robot physicians are just a few examples. However, because technology is now so pervasive in all aspects of society, change is swift and can have far-reaching consequences for people from all walks of life. From the student who is offered an entire universe to explore through a virtual reality headset to the factory worker who is forced to reconsider his role in the world in the presence of a robot coworker, technology has the ability to both expand and destroy our perception of the world. Yesterday’s science fiction is on the verge of becoming today’s reality. Is it something we’re prepared to face? With technology that provide endless pos-
sibilities, how will we entertain and educate ourselves? How will we deal with the ever-increasing amount of info we’re bombarded with? Is the AI apocalypse depicted in so many Hollywood horror films actually approaching? This chapter will look at the technology that will be with us as we learn, live, work, and play in the future. You’ll wear some to work, others on the street, and be greeted by others as you enter your home. Many are still in their infancy, and knowing where they are now (and where they’re headed in the future) will be critical to keeping up with them as they change the way we live and govern our lives.

VIRTUAL REALITY
You’ll never make it to Jupiter. You’ll never climb Mount Everest alone, live in ancient Rome, or stroll with dinosaurs. Not in this reality, at least. We’re in the midst of a revolution, one in which technology is on the verge of democratising access to experiences previously considered beyond of reach for the vast majority of people. Virtual reality (VR) software developers will be able to take us on spectacular trips anywhere on or off the globe (or to locations completely imagined) from the comfort of our homes by providing users with vision-enveloping headsets powered by more competent computer processors.
ENHANCED LIVES HROUGH VIRTUAL WORLDS
We’ve already had a peek of the possibilities that virtual reality experiences may bring, with the first generation of virtual reality headsets already in households. Do you want to go shark cage diving? You can do just that using Sony’s PlayStation VR headset. Do you want to travel the world from the comfort of your own
home?Puton Google Cardboard VR to see the world’smost famous places. Would you like to create a digital sculpture while floating through space? Its possible. What about intercontinental meetings conducted through an avatar, a virtual you with all the gestures and body language that we currently perceive in face-to-face interactions? You’ll also be able to create the meeting’s environment — why discuss the month’s sales data in the boardroom when everyone would prefer to do it on a virtual beach? Such liberty has the potential to create entirely new global communities, giving each resident the illusion of actual proximity to their neighbours. Within virtual environments, this will pose crucial problems about identity and the self. What will it mean for human relations when you can programme your virtual-reality avatar to look anyway you want it to – perhaps vastly different from your real-world body? Would it even matter if all aspects of the imagination could be examined at will? How many of the real-world 36

These should be fairly powerful, as producing sophisticated 3D images in high definition with a quick refresh rate is a difficult operation.
The higher the pixel density, the better. Virtual reality experiences demand excellent screen images and a very high refresh rate to be really immersive.
37
societal standards will we want to maintain in an alternate reality established from the ground up? Virtual reality’s potential is enormous, and it appears to be endless. There may come a time when the distinction between your physical reality and your virtual reality is blurred. The possibilities are both mind-boggling and stunning.
Perhaps virtual reality will allow veterinary students to marvel at the intricate ligament systems inside a horse’s leg without dissecting a body. Once we’ve mastered haptic engagement systems - interfaces that allow us to feel the digital environment around us – all of these experiences will become even more immersive.
In the future, we may be able to wear full body suits that allow us to feel the gentlest of caresses or minute temperature changes in a software environment, as well as gloves that allow a virtuoso pianist to perform an intricate piece on a piano made of bits and bytes in front of millions of people, all with front-row seats. Figure 15: Oculus lens by facebook
From pre-school to higher academics, educational VR has the capacity to scale experiences. For example, flying a youngster from the United States to the Louvre in Paris to view the Mona Lisa would be prohibitively expensive, but for a few hundred dollars, an entire class could traverse the gallery’s hallways in virtual reality.
38
AUGMENTED REALITY You possibly haven’t realised it, but you’ve already used an augmented reality (AR) app. Have you downloaded the Pokemon Go mobile app game? It was an augmented reality moment if you saw a Pikachu walking along your neighbourhood through your phone. Similarly, using AR technologies, you might add an animated ‘Sticker’ to a video in Snapchat, such as a wagging dog’s tongue on a friend’s well-posed pout. But this is only the beginning. While the screen may never completely disappear, improvements in augmented reality will lead to gadgets that push the screen to the periphery of your vision, transforming displays into digital windows and allowing virtual objects to appear in the real world.
DEMOCRATIZING EXPERTIZE
The keyboard, computer monitor, and cubicle are the three mainstays of the modern workplace. We were released from the office by the personal computer, laptop, and fibre internet, but not completely. Augmented reality has the potential
to completely transform the way we work, play, and live. Our interaction with both the physical and digital worlds will fundamentally shift with an AR system connected to our helmets and our hands free to engage within both the actual and graphically represented domains at the same time. Suddenly, an architect can walk into an empty lot and call up digital skyscraper designs and see where they will exist in the actual world, as though towering into the clouds, with the wave of a hand. An international student may have his new overseas textbook magically translated into a language he understands – at least through an augmented reality lens – and a rocket scientist can transfer her latest propulsion system from a desk-sized model to the launchpad without burning a drop of fuel. AR gadgets will also allow people to become generalists for the first time since the hunter-gatherer era. You would have a highly specialised skill set unique to executing tasks within your chosen career, whether
39
you're a car mechanic or a sushi chef. A person wearing an augmented reality visor and having access to the correct applications, on the other hand, could give even the pros a run for their money. Sure, turning on a computer won't replace years of practised skills or make you into an instant grease monkey. However, if you could look through an AR lens at a dismantled vehicle engine and be given visual, step-by-step instructions overlaid into the real world as to which piece fits where, you'd suddenly feel much more confident in copying the procedures to accomplish a task without assistance.
40
The image-recognition capabilities of the HoloLens and its imitators set them apart from other virtual reality headsets. An ambient light sensor and four environment sensing cameras operate in tandem with motion-tracking sensors and an internet connection to track and map your surroundings. You'll be able to go up to AR 'holograms' and 'touch' them once the depth has been determined (and the cameras have kept an eye on your limbs as well). At its most basic level, you'll be able to project your desktop computing apps onto your home's walls on a large scale. However, AR is most thrilling in the real world, when all of your sensors and cameras work together to provide you with real-time information about your surroundings without prompting you.
HoloLens, like the previous chapter’s VR wearables, can be worn on the head and has sensors and an on-board processing unit. It, too, has a display screen in front of your eyes that shows digital visuals. However, unlike VR headsets, which enclose your vision and move you to other worlds, the HoloLens has a transparent screen that overlays the digital software pieces over your real-world surroundings in front of your eyes. This gives the images heft, depth, and presence in the actual world, allowing them to be moved and interacted with.
41
Everyday tasks benefit from mixed reality as well. Consider driving home from work while wearing augmented reality spectacles. You walk into a store, undecided about dinner, and pick up a packet of mushrooms, which the glasses detect and recommend a few recipes for. The specifications may even direct you through the aisles to assist you find the things you need if the supermarket has been mapped. You dash to the nearest train station, but a combination of GPS sensors and image recognition means that when you glance at the station door, you’re given with information revealing that your route home is experiencing major delays. A voice command asking a means to pass the time results in a trailer for a movie you’ve expressed interest in being displayed in the corner of your peripheral vision – and it’s playing in 10 minutes at a theatre just down the street. Your journey home has taken an unexpected turn, even though that mushroom risotto will have to wait now that the directions have been practically traced at your feet.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE So, what is the sentient or ‘universal’ artificial intelligence that science fiction has frightened us so much about? What exactly is ‘narrow’ AI? Take, for example, the voice-activated assistant on a smartphone. Though your iPhone’s Siri assistant appears to be clever, it isn’t capable of true thought - at least not beyond the limited capabilities that machine learning and deep learning have enabled you to encode into it. It’s an example of ‘narrow’ AI, or more specifically, a hybrid AI that uses a bunch of ‘narrow’ AI abilities (mainly voice recognition) to tap into the vast reams of constantly updated data in the cloud to create the appearance of superhuman intellect.
Siri’s ability to instantaneously access all of the internet’s knowledge does not imply that it is capable of creative thought or reasoning; it is just performing a duty that it has been trained to do exceptionally well. Only when Siri is capable of performing any action that a human can perform will it be called a true AI. And no artificial intelligence has ever been able to do so — at least not yet. So, how far-reaching is AI going to be? In this case, there are two schools of opinion. The first group includes people like Bill Gates and Stephen Hawk-
ing, who are concerned about the rise of superintelligence. They see a day when the development of a ‘general’ AI triggers a ‘intelligence explosion,’ in which AIs are capable of teaching themselves new skills at a breakneck pace, eventually surpassing human capabilities to the point where they enslave humans. This bleak future image, dubbed the ‘technical singularity,’ is mitigated by the fact that it is more of a philosophical worry than a practical one — there is no factual proof that AI will reach this point. Likewise, there is no undeniable proof that it could not happen. The second group sees AI’s advancement in a significantly more practical light. The intelligence explosion will not happen, but today’s ‘narrow’ AI will continue to dominate. That isn’t to imply that ‘narrow’ artificial intelligences won’t be extremely beneficial in the future. Their abilities will expand at an exponential rate, and while they won’t be able to think creatively, they will become extremely proficient and efficient in hyper-specific tasks where context is limited and nuanced interpretation is unnecessary. It’s here that the colliding realms of AI and robotics will have the greatest impact on people. 46
01. MACHINE LEARNING
Algorithms sift through massive amounts of data in order to learn about its contents in the context of a specific need and make a choice about whether or not to perform that task.
02. DEEP LEARNING
This method employs neural networks, which are designed to emulate the neurons in our brains in order to better mimic how humans think.
03. BIG DATA
Big Data refers to the massive amounts of data we generate, store, transmit, and share on a daily basis through our devices and sensors, as well as how we may use it collectively to uncover connections and build patterns of behaviour.
Figure 18: Artifical Intelligence Illustrations.
47
IS IT WISE TO FEAR AI? We’ve already seen robots capable of doing simple repetitive jobs, such as those found on a factory assembly line. However, the development of ever-improving AI will hasten AI adoption and lead to robots capable of performing increasingly complicated tasks. This is where some AI concern is justified. Artificially intelligent robots, even those powered by ‘narrow’ AI, will become so efficient at certain occupations that they will become less expensive to hire than human labour. Low-skilled occupations such as truck driving, assembly line labour, and customer-facing retail roles are most likely to be replaced by AI-powered machines, at least at first.
48
The AI revolution isn’t the first time the workforce has had to deal with technological change and eventually come to terms with it. Contrary to popular belief at the time, the computer’s advent did not result in the abolition of all occupations; instead, it spawned a slew of new ancillary sectors. Could a job seeker in the 1940s have recognised the growing demand for digital artists in the video game industry? Or the growth of the app developer for smartphones? Or the YouTube sensation who is attempting to get into the music charts? None of these occupations would exist without computers.
Similarly, AI-driven robotics will almost surely usher in a slew of new, previously unimagined vocations and sectors. It’s also worth noting the potential for ever-improving AI-driven robots to improve human lives. Consider the nighttime caretaker robot or the AI-enabled robot instructor who has infinite patience and knows the answer to every question. Imagine a calamity like the Fukushima nuclear meltdown, when the cleanup exposed hundreds of people to dangerous amounts of radiation. What if their jobs had been taken over by a smart, AI-powered robot? Remember that humans don’t always want to get their hands dirty.
49
NANOBOTS TECHNOLOGY Nanotechnology, as well as the related robotics discipline of nanorobotics, examines how technology might be used to manipulate matter at the nanoscale. A nanometre, or one billionth of a metre, or 10-9m, is a measurement of one billionth of a metre. A strand of hair is 100,000 nanometres wide, whereas a water molecule is less than one nanometre wide. As a result, nanotechnology aims to function precisely at a fine scale far beyond what conventional microscopes can see — at a level where the very building blocks of life are at stake. There is no single defining form of nanotechnology, nor is there a single leading use, but developing nanorobotics for healthcare has immediate benefits. You can more readily treat and cure disease’s primary causes if you can influence molecules at such a granular level, or even on a somewhat bigger scale.
Now lets talk what other things Nanotech can do? It has the potential to improve a wide range of scientific fields. Medicine, the environment, industrial manufacturing, and even warfare are among them. Nanotechnology is a new topic in robotics that promises a variety of answers to challenges that have plagued humanity since the dawn of time. Nanobots have the potential to be one of humanity’s most significant achievements. Nanotechnology is the fabrication of tiny items that are so small that they are made of the atomic building blocks of life rather than normal materials. Nanorobotics is a branch of this field that focuses on developing robots that are so tiny that they are practically imperceptible to the naked eye. These ti-ny robots have the potential to achieve some very amazing things when they work together as a swarm.

What does these technologies mean to us? How are we going to achieve our goal of shrinking down houses and having them in our pockets by learning all these? Well this chapter was important to know, on what level we are today in terms of known technology. So that the idea of having house in the pocket doesnt seem so absurd and is quite seeable in the future. All the technologies that were explained in this chapter, are going to be the peak and primary tech in the coming decades where each and every human will be using it consciously and unconsiously. And the technology we are going to discuss further is also connected to all these tech, lets say the are the very building block of what we want to achieve. Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing and Nano tech may seem different tech for now but when studied altogether, these all things will be needed and used simultaneously by the user in his daily life in the coming years.

NANO DUST So, in last chapter we learnt about Nanobot technology and how small they can be. Now, imagine these bots on dust particles in the air around us which we cannot even see but surrounded by it all th etime, say the whole world, ready to be used or morphed into structures, things whatever you want it to be. Lets call it Nano Dust or Magic Dust, as it really would be like magic to watch things building out of thin air. Nano dust is a term that describes wireless networks of sub-millimeter-scale autonomous computing and sensor platforms that are smaller than a grain of sand. Nano dust collects and communicates data about its surroundings, such as light, temperature, sound, and the presence of toxins or vibrations, to parent computer systems through wireless transmission. We have reached the level where we cannot even see the robots we ve made, furthermore they can be made in millions in no time. a 1cm x 1cm paper can contain millions and millions of these bots. They could be
made and dublicate themselves blowing all over the world sending data over to the cloud and also purifying our environment. So this unseeable nanbots, infinite number of them all over the world in our environment By, 2030 every person in the world would be having nanobots inside their body. We would be breathing them in and out as we normally do and wont even know it. Imagine the benefits and things we could achieve by this. We can control the environment and morph all those zillions and gazillions of bots into things anything we imagine. We can create anything out of thin air by just giving them signals from the cloud, using AR lenses we could give them any shape or make our own art. You can morph a spoon in a timespan of just your hand reaching the plate, taste it and then disintegrate it on another second. Its not all wrong when they say Magic and Science run on a thin line. These things could take form anything you think of. The limit would be your imagination. 59
WHAT ELSE NANO COULD BE USED FOR?
DUST
Consider a cloud of sensors the size of a grain of sand or even smaller that are swept aloft by hurricane winds and transmit data about the storm to weather stations below. Imagine an invisible sensor network installed in a city’s roadways that continuously monitors traffic, road surface deterioration, and available parking places. Alternatively, billions of nanosensors may be strewn throughout forests and other fire-prone areas to identify a fire at its earliest stages. Consider programmable smart dust that sends out an alert when undetectable microcracks in a turbine blade are discovered. Nano dust is revolutionary because the sensors are so small that they can be placed almost anywhere, including in tight and challenging spaces. Another significant benefit is that these devices operate without the need for human interaction because they are pre-programmed and have their own power source, despite their small size. This technology is expected to monitor not only building controls, pipelines, factory equipment, and drug-making processes, but also ubiquitous autonomous artificial intelligent computation near the end user, such as authentication, medical procedures and
health-care monitoring, sensing and tracking, industrial and supply-chain monitoring, and defence applications.
HOW WILL THE NANO DUST WORK?
The dust is a vision of the networked future in which a trillions of tiny sensors continually sense, taste, smell, see, and hear what is going on in their surroundings, connect with one another, and share data. And once given, the dust is managed by Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS. Mechanical (levers, springs, membranes, etc.) and electrical (resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc.) components combine to form MEMS sensors or actuators. They’ll send out messages to the dust in the surrounding environment, giving them instructions and signals to form the shape or do a function. As you can see in the figures, i have simulated how would it look when the dust is reacting to the signals given and forming a shape. They could connect each other on a subatomic level making them so strong and even easier to disintegrate later when you do not want it anymore.

61
Dust can be spread all over the world through air or maybe having a pipe sytem all over the city blowing dust continously into the environment, the dust would be powered by the solar so they wont even need any battery or charge time, they will be charged simultaneously, which also helps us to achieve net zero carbon emission. Imagine the house generating power itself and producing electricity. Another potential application is the detection of harmful compounds in the environment, as well as the monitoring of their concentrations. Nanobots may be able to fix our pollution problems since they can affect things at the molecular level. A swarm of nano particles discharged into the atmosphere may quickly deconstruct pollution molecules and convert them to harmless material that could be readily removed from the atmosphere. These molecular scrubbers could clean the air till it was as clean as it had been aeons before.
Figure 26: Distributing nanodust from plane
Nanodust have a multitude of potential applications due to their small size, which allows them to practically reconstruct matter. In this way, correctly programmed nanobotsdust might take basic materials and turn them into anything, including proteins, meals, and small microprocessors. They could, in principle, generate more nanodust through the process of auto-replication if they were set up to do so. A tiny group of nanobots might grow into a vast swarm capable of large-scale undertakings in no time. Nanodust’s ability to act at the atomic level has far-reaching implications for industry. Industrial manufacturing necessitates a large number of resources, as well as equipment and personnel. This is due to the necessity to obtain resources, process them to make them useable, and then put them together into the things we use every day. Rather than constructing items 62
Figure 27: Nano dust swarm
piece by piece and then putting them together, industries may use nanotechnology to construct full products. Industrial nanobots would just require the most basic of raw materials to produce practically anything because they can utilise raw molecules. These factories could simply reprogram the nanobots to manufacture something new if they had adequate raw materials. This would eliminate the need to replace substantial portions of the manufacturing in order to adjust the output. As nanoweapons, nanodust might be used for military surveillance, assassinations, and even eating away and destroying enemy armour. Army engineers are building armies of nanobots, which are used to find bombs, clean weaponry, or fly over remote areas of a battlefield, and are inspired by colonies of bees, ants, and locusts. Each unique robot is simple in de-
sign, but the swarm’s overall behaviour is far more complicated. A bee colony can be called a superorganism with swarm intelligence, and the entire army of robots can be considered one unique customised system. Nanobots would be made in nanofactories no bigger than a typical desktop printer, according to Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT), the umbrella science of nanomedicine. The nanofactories would use nanoscale instruments capable of building nanobots to extremely precise specifications. The task-specific design, shape, size, and type of atoms, molecules, and computerised components would be used. Nanobots would be a very economical and appealing technology because the raw materials for generating them would be essentially free, and the manufacturing process would be virtually pollution-free.
63
WHERE ARE WE TODAY IN TERMS OF USING NANOTECH IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY?
To give building ceramics the following property, nanoparticles of TiO2, Al2O3, or ZnO are added as a final coating. When exposed to UV radiation, TiO2 breaks down filth and pollution, allowing it to be washed away by rainfall on surfaces such as tiles, glass, and sanitaryware. In coatings and paints, ZnO is utilised to provide UV resistance. Scratch resistance is achieved using nanosized Al2O3 particles. Bad odours, fungi, and mould are also prevented or slowed down by these surfaces. There ae also applications of nanotech in construction solar paints. The paint can be sprayed to practically any surface and, once dry, connects to the light-sensitive grid to begin pumping power. This type of technology is ideal for government buildings, where solar paint could reduce energy usage while saving money for taxpayers, and Next Gen is determined to making this a reality soon.
The applications and uses of Nanodust is vast and growing, it can be everything it needs to be in every field. No wonder it can be called ‘Magic Dust’. Well there are some risks over nanodust being world wide, like many that have reservations about the real-world implications of smart dust are concerned about privacy issues. Since smart dust devices are miniature sensors they can record anything that they are programmed to record. Since they are so small, they are difficult to detect. Your imagination can run wild regarding the negative privacy implications when smart dust falls into the wrong hands. While the technology has forward momentum, there’s still quite a bit to resolve before you will see it impacting your organization. However, it’s important to pay attention to its trajectory of growth, because it’s no longer the fodder of science fiction. We might not know when it will progress to the point of wide-scale adoption, but we certainly know it’s a question of when rather than if.

CAPSULES We read about Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS controlling these Magic dust to send signals and make them do the work. The MEMS would be the Capsule size tech. Suppose you go out for travel and you pop your house capsule, activate it by pressing the top and throw on the ground, as soon it hits the ground, the capsule scans the environment and sends signal to the available bots around, get the demographic information, soil information and all ground and terrain related information, making sure the place is suitable to build your house also checking if there are any building block over that area by the law. After this, if all signs show green, the capsule pops releasing Smart bots which are the MEMS who then controls and give instruction to the magic dust. The capsule bots would be having all the material and technical data encoded in them knowing what materials and how much dust would be needed and how much time would it take. Everything would be calculated in the capsule and the capsule bots will lead the build. You ll see all the magic dust morphing into walls stairs and roof in front of you , like an organism like forming, as if the earth itself morphing into your house. You can buy authentic capsules from anywhere, it can be house capsules, car capsules, a whole clothes wardrobe, or your furniture pack. or even fish and chips capsule. Everything could be bought digitally, even blank capsules can be bought to store your own things in them after scanning it.Everything can be in your pocket!

Like all other things in the world, Nothing is free. Yes there would a limit of how many times you could print or build an object or use capsules. There would be an fees or tax which you would be paying to the city council everytime you move to new place and set your house up. Also you cannot buy a product, say a jacket and print it everytime you want to wear, everytime you print it new again, there will be an charge. Same for houses, yes it sure would be possible to build and travel with your house in your pocket. But the laws wont be allowing to put your house anywhere in the city area. there would be designated capsule areas where you can build them, then again it is subjective to what kind of capsules you wanna use.

GRAPHENE
The main pillar of Nano dust to exist is the right material from which it will be made, and after thorough research, nothing fits the decription more than Graphene. It is also called as ‘Wonder Material’ for its properties and the easiness of making it, not to forget very very cheap as well. You can make graphene right from yoiur desk and chair right now with just an normal pencil. WHAT IS GRAPHENE? A one-atom thick film of graphite is referred to as graphene. Other allotropes, such as graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes, have it as a structural ingredient. Graphene is the world’s strongest and thinnest material. Graphene is a carbon-based honeycomb lattice at the atomic scale. It’s a honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms organised in a two-dimensional crystal. Each carbon atom is sp2 hybridised and bonded to three other carbon atoms. Chemically, graphene is the most reactive form of carbon. It’s a zero-overlap semimetal with extremely high electrical conductivity (holes and electrons serve as charge carriers). Electrons can pass through graphene far more easily than they can through copper. An electron attached to an atom in an insulator or semiconductor may only break free if it receives enough energy from heat or a passing photon to cross the ‘band gap.’ The gap in graphene, on the other hand, is tiny. This is the primary reason for graphene’s electron’s ability to travel freely and quickly. The increased electron mobility and thermal conductivity of the material might result in processors that are not only quicker but also better at dispersing heat.
70
https://www.google.com/
71
Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon atom network. Strong bonds hold these carbon atoms together in a honeycomb arrangement of six-membered rings within the plane. The well-known 3-dimensional graphite crystal is made by stacking these layers on top of each other. It is a fundamental component of graphitic materials in all other dimensions. It can be rolled into 1D nanotubes, wrapped into 0D fullerenes, or stacked into 3D graphite. As a result, graphen is only a single graphite layer. It can be rolled and shapped into any form we want to, and due to its hexagon shape it is very well strong bonded. The hexagon is the strongest shape known. ... In a hexagonal grid each line is as short as it can possibly be if a large area is to be filled with the fewest number of hexagons
72
Figure 31: Graphite bonds
73
HOW DO WE MAKE GRAPHENE? Take a pencil and some tape with you. Stick the tape to the graphite, then peel it away to reveal a graphite layer made up of many layers of carbon atoms. Repeat the process several times, and you should (ideally) end up with carbon that is so thin that it just has one layer of atoms. That’s graphene for you! Mechanical exfoliation is the formal name for this very primitive process. Another approach includes placing a piece of graphite into a super-precise atomic force microscope and rubbing it against something so that single layers of graphene flake off, similar to how graphite from a pencil lead is removed one layer at a time. Is graphene on its way to become the world’s most powerful material? Perhaps—or perhaps not. It’s vital not to
get carried away by the hype: much of the intriguing graphene research has so far been carried out on a relatively tiny scale in chemistry and physics labs. The majority of the research is still “blue sky,” meaning it will take years, if not decades, to develop practically, let alone cost-effectively. On the other hand, basic scientific study into graphene is still in its infancy. Forget about the incredible applications for a time; there’s bound to be a lot more intriguing science to come. We don’t yet know if graphene is the only substance with a two-dimensional crystal structure, or if there are other, even more amazing compounds out there waiting to be discovered. One thing we do know is that materials science is in a really interesting period right now!
74
GRAPHENE IN USE Several businesses are developing graphene batteries and supercapacitors for portable devices, despite the fact that adoption of graphene into advanced technology is slower than in other industries (due to greater entry hurdles and increased safety standards). Graphene is presently employed as part of the cooling system of the Huawei X10 phone, and there are allegations that graphene is also used in some of China’s military helicopters. However, graphene is finding use in specialised electrical areas, such as sensors, where the electronic characteristics and enormous surface area of graphene make the sensors extremely sensitive. Concrete is responsible for about 8% of worldwide CO2 emissions, but adding 0.03 weight percent graphene to the cement (the glue that keeps
the concrete together) reduces the amount of material required by up to a third. For the concrete sector, this amounts to a 2% reduction in carbon emissions. Many firms are engaged in this area, including Global Graphene Group, one of the oldest graphene enterprises (GGG). Though being such and wonder material as no other, Graphene still hasnt come in market fully yet for various reason, the main problem arises to manufacture graphene or a large industrial scale. In theory, it should be as easy to produce graphene but the results havent been likewise. But there is progress and in past few years, great lenghts have been achieved over the production. We would be soon seeing graphene products used everywhere.

The Capsule Technology of carrying houses and other various capsule encoded things will bring the nanotechnology at its peak. We would be living at a technological peak period where no single person will be seen outside without their smart lenses or glasses or masks. Through Augmented reality all over the real world, the world will look alive than ever, cartoons, dragons and unicorns, whatever you want will be there in the world in front of your eyes and which arent, you can just create it! A world where Crypto and NFTs would be the main dominant economy. Artificial intelligence would be running and looking over all the city. The city would be nothing but like an living organism, even if any disaster or any cause would happen which
leads to destruction of part of the city , the dust will just build it again and take care of it in time less than you can imagine. Like an lizard leaving her tail and growing it back, thats what the city would be. Be it natural disaster, or any other; we will be ready for anything. That is what the idea of real utopia is. The model of the city will consist of a centre ,the core where the Artificial Intelligence and all recorded data will be present operating and monitoring the city at a lighting speed. All the houses, building and all other printable capsules data would be stored in the core as well.
Figure 39: sketch of new world utopia
86
Figure 40: sketch of new world
The city will mostly grow organically as per the terrain, the Artificial Intelligence will determine the best course for city growth learning from all previous city planning data and models such as the concentric zone and sector models. All the roadways, bridges will also be planned and calculated by the core. Major daily life technologies would be Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Virtual worlds. Everything will be connected to these technology. Everything we buy or shop would be digital and will come in data format which you could save over cloud or go oldstyle like having a capsule storage. The streets would look more live than ever, having holograms all over and interactive things , like advertisement shop or buy buttons.
The more creative we get, the more the world looks. AR and VR will be primary using tools in the near future, monitored by the AI, and with that our nano magic dust allover. In this world, every disaster or pandemic is manageable, there wont be polltion anymore and so does virus, we could be able to treat virus in the air in an instant with the magic dust. No one would be homeless, emeregency housing would be at its peak for people in distant parts of the world. Well, whats coming for us in the future is sure is exciting. Lets brace ourself.
87
THE LAWS Ofcouse, with the new world comes new laws and regulations, specially for building and construction. Since now, in a world where everyone potentially could build anything anywhere and the technology is just literally in the air. The rules and laws for constructing, building anything would be a lot strict and straight. One cannot simply build an amusement park or a roller coaster in middle of a road, or play games in public spaces. Public places and restricted places mostly in the city would be having “Region lock” or “Building blocked” algorithms where even if you try to build, you cannot. There will be firewall all around the city and all places where building or constructing is unethical or doesnt needed. There would be digital parks in the city where people will be having freedom to create, experiment and play with the technology. Ofcourse there will be consequences for hacking or breaking construction laws. But in a world of Artificial Intelligence and Dust surviellance to monitor us everywhere it would be really hard to break.
WHAT WOULD BE THE LEGAL LAWS FOR BUILDING YOUR HOUSE THEN?
Suppose you travel to other part of the world or to another planet and are new in the city and now you hire a space to build your house, you pop out your capsule and put it there. There will be vacant smart plots or apartment spaces in the city, people can lease or buy the vacant plot and build up their whole house. They can even disintegrate the house when leaving the city or moving away. A copy of the house, their furniture and all the belongings they have can be saved into the capsule and mor anywhere anytime. The deleted building dust will be again mixed with the hub where it can be recycled and used again as a building material.
Figure 41: The plot system for new world
88
Figure 42: The apartment tower system
No house or any infrastructure could be morphed if record not found in the core system. Architects have to sanction their drawing plans and get it registered in the core system before selling the capsules to the people. There would be restrictions for people on the size of building; buildings like houses, offices,etc would be needing license purchased. The Residential towers system wont be much different from the Plot system, you can rent a space on any floor available and every space on the floor would be having spaces where you can upload your blueprint capsule which then will start to print. If you have your furniture and stuff saved inside your capsule, it will start printing it as well. It that way, wherever you go travelling or relocate yourself, you can have your home with you build in couple of minutes.
Every floor in the tower would be having an morph system ready to build or disintegrate. Depending upon your house size you can rent your space.If your house is bigger than the rented space, it wont morph and will give you an extension option.The tower itself is like an growing tree, the middle bark will grow as per demand of space and add on extra floors. More or less, the laws will be more untangible and pretty starightforward and would be monitored by the Artificial Intelligence.
89
RISKS
CONCERNS AND DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH NANO DUST
Nano dust deployment on a large scale would come with a slew of risks: Privacy: Many people who are sceptical of smart dust’s real-world consequences are concerned about privacy concerns. Smart dust devices will shrink to the point where they are invisible to the naked eye, making them incredibly difficult to detect. They can be programmed to record anything that their sensors can detect (ironically, people have begun to voluntarily carry devices that would accomplish exactly that). You’ll most likely have no idea who is collecting the data or what they’re doing with it. When smart dust enters into the wrong hands, your imagination can go wild with the terrible privacy consequences.
ficult. The amount of smart dust that may be used to cause harm by a rogue individual, company, or government would be difficult for authorities to manage if necessary. Cost. The cost of implementing a smart dust system that includes the satellites and other elements required for full execution is considerable, as it is with any new technology. Many people will be unable to afford technology until expenses are reduced. Pollution. Smart dust motes are essentially one-time use items. The question of whether they will pollute the locations where they are utilised arises unless they are totally biodegradable (soil, air, water).
Control: It would be difficult to recapture or catch billions of smart dust devices after they have been spread across a large area. Given their small size, detecting them if you weren’t made aware of their presence would be dif-
90
Health. Nano dust particles’ risk profile will mirror that of nanoparticles in general, as well as the possible health risk connected with inhaling or eating them, as soon as they shrink to the nanoscale. Legal issues. The absence of security safeguarding information created by smart dust networks raises worries about not only privacy, but also the network’s ability to be accessed by third parties without consent (i.e., hacked) and its data utilised for illicit reasons.
91
LIFE FOR ARCHITECTS What would this advancement mean for architcts? Would architects be no longe required? Well not exactly, I mean yes there would be so many application where an client would design his own house probably by his mind and thats okay. But whether is meets the laws and building codes and how what material nanodust it requires, there would be lot of technical stuff which an normal client wouldn’t be able to tackle, so an architects job could be more technical at this point of world. He will hold the power whether to pass the design or not and by such sign it. More likely, he will be helping the client to pass his design through the system ran by the Artificial Intelligence. Unless it meets all the requirements of building code and conduct it cannot pass. In such situations, clientw ill seek architects and their expertise. It would be more like hiring an lawyer to get something done legally. We will be the building lawyers of future.
Well do not think, this technology will end the need of architects, nonetheless it will be totally an reverse situation, in the world where digital is everything. Digital artists like us will be seeked quite in demand. Even in todays world, digital artists making NFTs are making good cryptos in the market. Other jobs an architect could do would be design house capsules already registered in the core systema with build ready mark and sell it online, advertise houses over his website or even on Amazon. People could just download their new house over internet, Imagine that! People could buy, sell, or just exchange their properties over just an click. Well, architect wouldn’t be just building houses in the future thats for sure, with the technology so advanced and achievable, there would be thousand more doors of opportunity for an architect to go through.

EPILOGUE The first sentence page of this book stated that the world is changing. Now everything comes to a end with the realisation that you will change with it as well.
es of iron, copper, and silicon already found in our bodies be magnified, making our existing physical forms obsolete (but biological) hardware, to be superseded by something not yet realised?
Political, social, and economic technical advancements can quickly reshape the globe if the conditions are perfect. The next technology revolution, on the other hand, may force us to anticipate change not just in the world around us, but in our entire idea of existence.
There is no limit where the nanotechnologe in construction and architecture would take us. This is only the beginning and much much more has to come ahead in the future.
As we want to overcome what we perceive to be constraints, the future of technology appears to be focused on amplifying and enhancing our bodies and thoughts. Autonomous transportation and AI-controlled houses and workforces may make us more productive than ever, but they leave our physical bodies behind in this new world we’ve built. Today, we choose the model of our cellphones; may we choose a model for ourselves in the not-too-distant future? Will our flesh and bones go the way of the floppy disc and VHS if the act of detaching our brains from our physical bodies is ever realised? Would the trac-
Imagine being able to live everywhere you wanted, or in numerous places at once, time unimportant and malleable, as long as you had an appropriate data encoded in the cloud or your capsules. You could communicate your thoughts in the same manner that we share data now, and they would be instantly conveyed to the entire posthuman race. It’s difficult to comprehend, but separating our inner identities from our physical forms has the potential to actually connect humanity in ways that are currently unfathomable. It would be unlike anything anyone has ever experienced in their life.
96
It may sound far-fetched today, but as with all technological improvements, it is impossible dreams that make modest steps feasible. We may see the blockchain transform security systems, nuclear fusion lead to a clean energy breakthrough, and nanotechnology and biological augmentations allow for ever-more ambitious expeditions among the stars, just as the smartphone has put the world in our hands. Future advancements will continue to surprise and exceed our expectations. There is no fate other than the one we choose for ourselves. We live in a time of extraordinary technological development and turmoil. But that technology also puts all of civilization’s accumulated knowledge at our fingertips, connecting us with the world’s best brains and enabling us to dream bigger, braver, and brighter than ever before. Your world is changing, and you have the power to influence it.
