| Abstract | ||||
| Smart technologies have greatly affected buildings, so buildings have a distinctive identity that derives from the presence of kinetic systems that have an effect on reducing heat. Where the use of smart technologies and remote sensing systems in buildings helped to achieve the highest levels of control in the various standards that help preserve the external and internal environment, Technologies help achieve resource sustainability and reduce costs. Therefore, smart technologies have become intertwined with the concepts of sustainability. And it has an impact on the main aspects of the building such as function, construction and form, as the external envelope is considered one of the most important aspects affected by the sustainable building, Especially if the shape is linked to smart technologies in the building’s outer shell in hot areas. The research aims to determine the extent of the impact of technology on the outer shell, the moving elements in the facades, and their role in sustainability. And to protect it from climate changes and solar radiation to provide comfort to its users in hot areas. To achieve the goal of the research, a methodology was developed in the research that begins with introducing the concept of intelligence and the outer shell, and previous studies, and then analyzing the examples. One of the most important findings of the research is that the use of technology in architecture It provides convenience to users and helps with sustainability. | ||||
