Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Today, supplying the energy needed by human being from renewable sources and reducing the consumption of nonrenewable energy are the main concerns for building designers and engineers. Modern technology has provided the architects with special facilities among which smart materials as part of architectural components have the most relationships with residents and users of various architectural spaces in different climates. Identification and application of such materials in architectural spaces (residential areas in this research) provide the architects with a wide horizon and supply various and high quality spaces for the users. In traditional architecture the materials were used according to the climate of the region; smart materials should be selected according to the climate of the region as well for good and effective efficiency.The main questions of the research are expressed as the following: What are the characteristics of smart materials? What facilities and opportunities do smart materials provide for the architects? How do they help the architects design residential areas in cold climate?The descriptive, analytical method was used to identify smart materials and their capabilities and to determine their stand in residential areas and their effects on such spaces. By analyzing successful projects, the theoretical framework for architecture consistent with climate will be developed.
