Applications of Smart Technologies in Residential Interior Design

Smart Technologies and their innovations are among the most significant outcomes of the industrial revolution. Their applications have expanded across many fields, including medicine, industry, agriculture, economics, the military, engineering, arts, education, and various other areas of life. Smart Technologies have developed rapidly, opening new opportunities for innovation that may lead to further industrial revolutions and bring substantial changes to human life and behavior. The rapid technological and Smart Technologies advancements, along with the transformations occurring under the Fourth Industrial Revolution, have positioned Smart Technologies as a key driver of growth, progress, and prosperity in recent years. As Smart Technologies have advanced across multiple fields, they are now increasingly present in residential environments and accessible to users. Human needs can often be met with the simple press of a button, and in the future, Smart Technologies may anticipate and fulfill needs automatically through smart home systems and sensors, potentially giving rise to innovations that may currently seem imaginative. The current signs of development and the continuous emergence of innovations indicate that this advanced environment is approaching, requiring a reconsideration of interior design practices and more focused studies to align with the requirements of the new era. This research addresses the problem and explores the theoretical framework, including the relationship between Smart Technologies and interior design. One of the main conclusions is that, when Smart Technologies are applied in interior environments, the primary goal of design is to create interactive living between humans and smart technologies. Function and beauty in interior design acquire new meaning that corresponds to the scale and sophistication of these technologies.
