3. 1. INTRODUCTION
 The existing architecture of any
given era is greatly influenced by
the level of technology and
sociocultural trend.
 TECHNOLOGY: collection of
techniques, skills, methods and
processes in delivering goods and
services .
 ARCHITECTURE: art and science of
designing buildings and structures.

5. 2. INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN ARCHITECTURE
• Technology has greatly affected the means and processes embodied in architectural
practices in the last few decades.
• The following technologies are transforming the output of architectural designs and the
built environment;
1. Building Information Modelling (BIM):
2. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD):
3. Internet of Things/Smart Building Technology;
4. Style And Aesthetics:
5. Smart Construction And 3D Printing:

6. 1. Building Information Modelling (BIM):
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process
that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the
insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage
buildings and infrastructure
BIM improves communication within a project team, by simulating to a higher
degree project design and construction using Virtual reality and wearables.

7. 1. Building Information Modelling (BIM): _Adoption Levels

8. 2. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD):
IPD is technology-
based process of
collaboration within
the construction
industry to improve
service delivery.

10. 3. Smart Building Technology/Internet of Things (IoT);
A smart building utilizes a combination of technologies to automate building
management. Smart buildings help reduce waste in building energy usage by
optimizing building elements performance.
They can be classified into four categories namely:
1. Energy: consumption monitoring.
2. Equipment: HVAC use.
3. Environmental quality: CO2.
4. People or spaces: occupancy and space utilization

11. 3. Smart Building Technology/Internet of Things (IoT);

12. 4. Style And Aesthetics:
Generative Design Technology integrates artificial intelligence and architectural principles
to create parametric forms and facades that is gradually leading to a new architectural
style.
A structural system designed using generative design
technologies.

13. 5. Smart Construction And 3D Printing:
Technologies such as drones, Virtual reality and 3D-Printing have been gradually
integrated into the building industry to maximize resources and reduce waste.

14. 3. IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON ARCHITECTURE:
The style, construction method and materials employed by architects
throughout history has been directly dependent on the level of
technology during the period.

15. CONCLUSION
Technology is interwoven into the very fabric of building
design and construction, and as long as technology evolves,
there will be a corresponding evolution in the field of
architecture.
