• 4．What will the future houses be like？Will they have gardens on their walls？Can they control the houses' temperature？Architects believe that there are many different possibilities.But the only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
     The Tree House：Many architects would like to build a "tree house" like a leaf.The surface of the house collects sunlight during the day.The sunlight energy can be used to heat water，drive household machines，and even provide fresh air for the home.The"root"of the house is deep under the ground.It uses the soil to control the home's temperature.
     The Lizard（蜥蜴） House：Like a lizard，changing colour with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house.When it's in the bright sun，the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat.During cloudy days，it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy for lighting.
     The Garden House：Food production will be one part of the house design.Gardens may appear on the outside walls of the house.People can plant vegetables on them.So they just need to walk outside and collect vegetables every day.
     The Self-cleaning House：Things like floor，wall，and sofa in the Self-cleaning House will be cleaned or dried by themselves.People don't need to clean them or get them dried under the sun，so that they can have more time to rest.
