This comprehensive companion surveys intelligent design thinking in architecture and urbanism, investigating ‘smart’ approaches to design that augment the potentials of user experiences. Split into six paradigmatic focuses, this volume looks at the theoretical and historical background of smart design, smart design methodologies and typologies, smart design theoretical discourses, smart materials, smart design for extreme weather and a changing climate, smart mobility, and the role of digital technologies, robotics, and simulations in architectural and urban design.
