Growing interest in the study of smart materials and their applications in many industries, particularly in the domains of construction and building technology, has been seen throughout the past several decades. Despite the fact that smart materials are not very novel, researchers are working to build smart materials and construct a system that regulates and guides the materials to provide a living environment with more resilience and fewer adverse effects. In order to better understand the effects that smart material systems have on the design and construction processes, as well as to explore how to design building with better responsive characteristics, the research aims to investigate the qualities and benefits of smart material systems in the field of building design. Once this state of responsiveness is attained, it will provide users with the ideal environment as evidenced by the structural, climatic, and architectural outcomes. The use of smart materials has the potential to significantly improve the sustainability of buildings by emphasizing phenomena rather than material creations
