Abstract

Smart materials technologies are the key to 21st-century competitive advantage. Various building materials can significantly increase levels of functionality. “Smart Materials” will play critical role in building technology development; these materials that form part of a smart structural system, which has the capability to sense its environment, so smart materials can perform like living systems. Recognizing that the traditional partition between Materials Science and Architecture is obsolete, the study intent is to show how these two fields are intrinsically connected while growing ever more symbiotic as we progress into the future. The paper provides an analytical study of the types of smart materials available, giving a new insight into innovative methods and techniques that will give a new inspiration for architectural design, which the study will introduce “A New Innovative Design Paradigm”.
