“…Smart materials are examples of internal control systems. According to the building efficiency, the most significant differentiation may be seen in differentiating between internally applied systems, externally applied systems and systems integrated in the facade (double skins and switchable glazing) [9,13,16]. The adaptive facades systems can be summarized as Table 1.…”

During its historical development, materials and architecture have always been inextricably linked. More recently, the application of modern materials and new achievements in architecture around the world have actualized the issue of the relation between architectural aesthetics and technology. Technological advancement allows the creation of new forms and a new way of shaping materials. Therefore, smart and nanotechnology have a significant impact not only on modern buildings, but also on the emergence of new architectural expression and style. Using analytical descriptive methodology and research literature, this paper focuses on the analysis of selected case studies in order to determine the impact of new intelligent technologies and modern materials on the ecological and aesthetic needs of today's architecture.

“…Despite these rather broad definitions, most of the scientific papers available in literature and related to facade adaptivity typically focus on energy, climate and comfort related aspects (i.e., energy performance, thermal comfort, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), visual and acoustic performance), typically characterized by gradual changes in the environment (see for example (Hasselaar & Looman, 2007;Kim, 2013;Park & Dave, 2014;Barozzi et al, 2016;Attia, 2017;Balocco & Petrone, 2017;etc.). However, adaptiveness can be beneficial regarding the safety and robustness of buildings, since commonly associated to abrupt changes in the external and/or boundary conditions.…”

“…Mahmoud and Elghazi [67] investigated in kinetic facades [68,69] using parametric design to optimize the daylight in a south oriented facade in Cairo. The façade consists of a moveable hexagonal pattern which is controlled using Grasshopper in order to study the daylight distribution inside the building, aiming to achieve the requirements of LEED v4.…”

In the history, architecture was exploited to the human being to protect him from unsteady environmental conditions. In the past centuries, architecture was pioneer art which has special features such as; simplicity, organization, clear style, accurate decoration, material assembly, and so on. However, modern buildings become complex products that have so many parts which have to fulfil different functions. Therefore, new computational ways and techniques have been developed to facilitate the design of modern complicated buildings and to create a convenient quantitative relationship between the environment and the envelope, putting into consideration the obstacles which influence on the building design. This has therefore formed the concept of parametric design in architecture, in order to deal with complex designs and gain more accurate results. Modern architects claim that parametric design is the most creative way to understand the development and complexity of the new era of architectural trends [1]. Meanwhile, it is really hard to deal with sophisticated details in buildings using our brains to imagine, or conventional ways to design [2]. In addition, building technologies nowadays are integrated and containing many disciplines in the same time, and each discipline is dependent on the other disciplines in a very complex vast connections. Hence, they should be organized in a database container, and this container could be managed parametrically using parametric design as an advanced way to explore and understand these sophisticated relations [3]. This paper hence presents a literature review on parametric design in architecture practice and put a focus on its applications in daylighting and solar radiation, which can have an essential impact on improving daylight availability and energy saving.
