Nanotechnology and Its Effects in Architectural Design

Abstract

Nanoarchitecture as the new contemporary architectural style of the 21^st century that will revolutionize the architecture world in every way either the way architects think or how they inspire their ideas, the used materials in building, finishing materials, or the way we demonstrate to the world and building users. It is not a secret that the teaching of a nanotechnology course will soon be required in most engineering and architecture curricula. The intent of this paper is therefore to connect science and technology under the umbrella of nanotechnology in order to design and build practical and innovative materials and devices from the nanoscale upward. The findings of this paper are expected to benefit nanotechnology in architecture and building materials which will directly or indirectly contribute to its suitability and modern materials use.
