ABSTRACT
Architecture is much about creating new space realities for our, often intangible selves driven by emotion and idea. It is one of the truly interdisciplinary areas in which science, technology, psychology, and art come together to provide us with a shelter, communication tool, emotion incubator, and powerful diplomatic relay. Some simply define it as an art and science of building, a description it shares with some new technologies developed in the past decades. Nanotechnology is, for example, based on the discoveries related to the principles of molecular building: what rules the atom and molecular assembly, what the building blocks or the cells are, how we can design elements which self assemble. Nanoscientists are molecular architects often trying to build materials with internal molecular architecture that makes them durable, functional, sustainable, responsive. Biohybrids, for example, contain biological components such as proteins found in seashells or silk together with chemically synthesized materials and this combination leads to new properties. Intelligent materials respond to the level of light, the moisture, or the dirt present in the environment. These very materials could transform the architecture of tomorrow.
