Over the course of human history, architecture has incorporated new forms of technology to meet the needs and solve the problems of changing societies.
在人類歷史的長河中,建築已融入新型科技,以滿足社會變遷的需求並解決問題。
over the course of~在~的期間、過程中during(prep.)在~期間incorporate(v.)結合、融入
Therefore, experts predict that the trend of embracing technology to improve building design will continue into the future, especially as humanity is likely to face increasing environmental and spatial crises.
因此,專家預測,未來將繼續採用科技來改善建築設計,尤其是在人類可能面臨日益嚴重的環境和空間危機的情況下。

According to global architecture and design platform Rethinking the Future, “rapidly advancing, new mediums such as virtual reality, robotics and artificial intelligence” as well as the use of 3D printers will greatly change how buildings are designed.
全球建築和設計平台「反思未來」認為,「虛擬實境、機器人技術和人工智慧」等快速發展的新媒介以及3D印表機的應用將大幅改變建築設計。
platform(n.)平台advance(v.)進步virtual reality虛擬實境
For instance, VR systems will allow spaces to be experienced before they are constructed, AI software will help improve building performance and efficiency by analyzing “vast amounts of data” for architects and large-scale 3D printers will be able to aid in expanding “the boundaries of architecture and construction.”
例如,虛擬實境系統將使人們在建造之前就能體驗空間,人工智慧軟體將透過為建築師分析「大量數據」來幫助提升建築的性能和效率,而大型3D印表機將有助於擴展「建築和施工的範圍」。
for instance舉例來說;例如=for exampleVR=virtual reality虛擬實境efficiency(n.)效率efficient(adj.)有效率的vast amounts of~大量的~large-scale(adj.)大規模的on a large scale大規模地boundary(n.)邊界;界線
As for the major issues facing architecture in the future, global warming is one of the most pressing.
至於未來建築面臨的主要問題,全球暖化是其中最迫切的問題之一。
as for至於face(v.)使面臨=confrontpressing(adj.)急迫的
Despite the field of green architecture already aimed at making the built environment more eco-friendly, as the climate crisis worsens, architects will need to design not only for occupants but also for the overall sustainability of buildings.
儘管綠色建築已致力於使建築環境更加環保,但隨著氣候危機的加劇,建築師需要考慮不僅建築物使用者,還有建築物整體的永續性。
despite(prep.)儘管=in spite of(be) aimed at以~為目標eco-friendly(adj.)環保的=environmentally friendlyworsen(v.)惡化=aggravate=deterioratesustainability(n.)永續性sustainable(adj.)永續的
Archova Visuals expects that the future of green buildings will likely incorporate rainwater reuse systems, natural ventilation systems, plants as living parts of the designs, recycled building materials and alternative energy sources, such as solar panels.
印度建築設計公司Archova Visuals預測,未來的綠色建築可能包括雨水再利用系統、自然通風系統、將植栽融入日常生活、回收建築材料以及太陽能板等替代能源。
ventilation(n.)通風ventilate(v.)使通風alternative energy sources替代性能源
As far as spatial issues are concerned, cities of the future are projected to be more vertical as the amount of livable space decreases.
而在空間問題方面,隨著可居住空間的減少,預計未來的城市將更加垂直。
as far as…is concerned 就~而言=in terms of...project(v.)預測=predictvertical(adj.)垂直的livable(adj.)可居住的=habitableuninhabitable(adj.)不適合居住的
Consequently, architects will be tasked with designing both vertical cities to house residents and vertical farms to help increase food production for growing urban populations.
因此,建築師的任務將包含設計垂直城市來安置居民,也包括設計垂直農場來為不斷增加的城市人口的增加糧食生產。
consequently(adv.)因此=as a result=thereforebe tasked with被指派、交付(任務等)house(v.)容納、安置
