Smart Materials in Architecture

Smart materials configuration, role of materials in the construction and design process, which has a direct impact on both the physical and psychological comfort of the building users. In addition, utilizing new technologies and applications for adaptive, interactive, smart and innovative design, materials transformation with thermal, moisture and light responses, adaptive qualities reflected on the structural, climatic, and architectural performance of the buildings depends on its match to the users’ perception, cognition and utilization of these innovations. The potential of AI to predict better the properties of smart materials systems/mechanisms in architectural practice will be introduced with the awareness of the impact of such innovation on societal transformation and lifestyle of different user groups.
