Architectural designers are currently faced with many challenges—technological changes, environmental and economic impacts, necessity to innovate and raise the bar in building performance, and the paradigm shift in architecture with the wider adoption of advanced computational design and fabrication techniques. This paper focuses on innovations in architecture, relationships between scientific research and design, and advanced building technologies. Several research projects are presented, including use of virtual and augmented reality for design, smart facade systems for generating heating/cooling and electricity, and regenerated buildings with improved performance.
