| Abstract |
The field of interactive architecture is an interdisciplinary approach that studies the interconnectedness of architecture, technology, and human interaction. It can be used in smart cities to improve the quality of life for residents by providing them with access to data, services, and experiences that are tailored to their specific needs. This paper will provide an overview of how the state of interactive architecture could promote the idea of "smart cities" in the context of Bahrain. It will address the potential of establishing various interactive applications that could be used in smart cities, the benefits of interactive architecture for residents, and the challenges that must be overcome for this discipline to advance. In the conclusion, the paper will will elaborate on how interactive architecture is a key component of the future of smart cities and has the potential to change how we engage with our cities. © The Institution of Engineering & Technology 2023. |
