INTELLIGENT ARCHITECTURE: THE WAY TO DESIGN INTELLIGENT BUILDINGS

Abstract

With the enhancement of Informational Revolution, the transformations in our lifestyle demand the space around us to have interaction modalities that support new as well as old communicating ways. Therefore, it becomes a challenge for the designers to blend the informational space with the physical space through technology inspired architecture, which helps to incorporate the design application in the digital as well as real world context. Intelligent Architecture is a new design process that perceives and interacts with the built environment by applying recent advances and implementing new technologies to architectural practice. The concept of Intelligent Architecture started as an interest in the latest integrated building systems and technologies which can communicate and exchange information. The paper is based on the conceptual research done to give the overview of Intelligent Architecture in general, its application in the world of information system with all of its multi-dimensional viewpoints and explore the criteria determining intelligent building technologies. The focus of the paper is to gain an insight phenomenon of Intelligent Architecture and its responsiveness to fulfill the demands of human needs and to understand the technologies through which Intelligent Building systems can be achieved. The selection criteria of case studies are based on the advance technologies which are used to promote the idea of Intelligent Architecture.
