About
The "Intelligent and Smart Buildings in the Context of Futurist Architecture" course is a comprehensive program designed for students passionate about the intersection of architectural innovation, cutting-edge technologies, and environmental sustainability. This course embarks on a dual journey, exploring the visionary realm of Futurist Architecture with a special focus on the pioneering work of Antonio Sant'Elia, and subsequently delving into the transformative potential of intelligent and smart buildings in modern architectural practice. In this first section of the course, we will immerse ourselves in the exhilarating world of Futurist Architecture, a movement that ignited the imagination of the early 20th century. Antonio Sant'Elia, a central figure in this movement, envisioned a radical departure from conventional architectural norms. Throughout this segment, We will:
Uncover the historical and cultural context that birthed the Futurist Movement.
Delve into the philosophical underpinnings of the movement as articulated in the Futurist Manifestos.
Examine Sant'Elia's groundbreaking architectural sketches and designs, which epitomized the movement's dynamism, speed, and utopian vision.
Investigate how Sant'Elia's concepts continue to influence modern architectural discourse and urban planning.
Building upon the foundation of Futurist Architecture, we transition to the world of intelligent and smart buildings, where technology meets sustainable design to shape the future of the built environment. Throughout this segment, we will:
Explore the evolution of intelligent building systems and their role in reshaping architecture.
Investigate how modern technology is transforming the way we design, construct, and interact with buildings.
Engage with the latest advancements in smart materials, IoT (Internet of Things), and AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the context of architecture.
Analyze case studies showcasing how intelligent and smart features enhance…
