The Routledge Companion to Smart Design Thinking in Architecture & Urbanism for a Sustainable, Living Planet Synopsis

This comprehensive companion surveys intelligent design thinking in architecture and urbanism, investigates multiple facets of "smart" approaches to design thinking that augment the potentials of user experiences as well as his/her physical and mental interactions with the built environment.

Split into six paradigms, this volume looks at the theoretical and historical background of smart design, smart design methodologies and typologies, smart materials, smart design for extreme weather and climatic regions, as well as climate change issues and side effects, smart mobility, and the role of digital technologies and simulations in architectural and urban design. Often at odds with each other, this volume places emphasis on smart design for various typologies and user groups, emphasizing on advancements in form-making and implementation of technology for healthy and sustainable living environments.

Written by emerging and established architects, planners, designers, scientists, and engineers from around the globe, this will be an essential reference volume for architecture and urban design students and scholars as well as those in related fields interested in the implications, various facets and futures of smart design.
