Tropical storms will become more powerful and frequent, droughts will cause more forest fires, the shrinking ice cap will raise sea levels worldwide -- these are some forecasts about global warming, which will change our way of life.

Some architects have tried to design "the future" house to meet the challenges brought by global warming. In the United States, the DIY round roof house is becoming increasingly popular: compared with traditional structures, it can better withstand extreme weather such as hurricanes. Some companies like Monolithic also provide people with a set of tools and instructions on how to build them.
