Elements and control systems -- 6. Smart products -- 7. Smart components, assemblies and systems -- 8. Intelligence environments -- 9. Revisiting the design context.
Review: "Today, architects and designers are looking towards developments in new 'smart' or 'intelligent' materials and technologies for solutions to long-standing problems in building design. Until now few architects have had access to information about the types or properties of these new materials or technologies. Two of the leading experts in this field - Addington and Schodek - have solved this problem by incorporating all the relevant information available to architects and designers in one volume. They present materials describing their fundamental characteristics and go on to identify and suggest how these characteristics can be exploited by professionals to achieve their design goals."--BOOK JACKET.
