INTEGRATING SMART TECHNOLOGIES INTO MODULAR AND FLEXIBLE ARCHITECTURE

Kenza BELKHIRI, Viorel UNGUREANU

Abstract


The built environment is undergoing transformation, as integrated smart technologies with modular and flexible architecture enhance sustainability, efficiency and adaptability. These include the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics, which improve modular constructions by prefabrication, scaling, and adaptable spatial configuration. AI-based design can enable real-time customization and accelerate assembly through automation, minimizing costs and errors. This study focuses on modularity, complexity and integration of smart systems, addressing issues of data privacy, interoperability, technology obsolescence, and examining the potential of resilient futures-ready architecture.
