| Abstract | ||||
| This paper discusses the potential of emergent materials in architecture to address critical issues in our built and natural environment, particularly in relation to the climate crisis exacerbated by contemporary behaviors and architecture. With more than half of the world's population living in cities, the problem is complex and requires interdisciplinary attention to various scales from urban to Nano. Nanotechnology offers opportunities for adaptation and innovation, enabling us to understand and manipulate the materiality of our surroundings. The paper advocates for the inclusion of architecture and design in interdisciplinary research endeavors focused on nanotechnology to promote innovation in sustainability. In architectural practice, nanotechnology has useful applications in high efficiency coatings and claddings, although this approach is additive rather than integrative in transforming energy production and consumption. The paper also discusses recent material advancements and considers their potential for architectural design. | ||||
