Highlights of hi-tech style:
- The use of high technology in the design, construction and engineering of buildings and structures.
- The emphasis on functionality becomes the basis of hi-tech.
- The use of decorative elements is maximally limited.
- High-tech architecture prefers glass, metal, plastic, concrete and other artificial coatings. Style resists trends using natural materials.
- Widespread use of silver-metallic color.
- Unsightly technical details are no longer hidden: in the age of high technology, they become, rather, an adornment (the use of functional elements: elevators, stairs, ventilation systems and others, taken out of the building). Ventilation shafts and pipelines are decorated, painted in different colors, and therefore such designs not only do not spoil the overall impression of the structure, but also have aesthetic value.
- The constructions are mostly simple, simple forms and straight lines prevail. Frequent appeal to the elements of constructivism and cubism (as opposed to bio-tech).
- Architects experiment with lighting, which in combination with the mirror surfaces of buildings creates a spectacular flicker. Decentered lighting, creating the effect of a spacious, well-lit room.
- High pragmatism in space planning.
- As an exception, the sacrifice of functionality for the sake of design.
