Application of Combined-Scale Smart Structures as a Necessity for Multifunctional Spaces

Article Preview

Abstract:

Suitable applications of smart structures for multifunctional spaces are going to be found by this paper. Logical argumentation research method is applied to identify a special smart structure which its features match to architectural requirements of multifunctional spaces. Hence, the smartness of architectural structures has two distinct scales: nanoscale and real scale, the application of these structures is based on two scales. Nanoscale smart structures have the capabilities which differ from real-scale smart structures. The analysis of features of multifunctional spaces shows that these kinds of spaces require structures which are smart both in nanoscale and real scale. As a result, combined-scale smart structures are recommended for multifunctional spaces.
