Fundamental Issues in the Qualification of Smart and Intelligence in Building Materials Discourse: A Systematic Review

The fundamental notion of ‘smart’ in building materials discourse is responsiveness—the ability of materials to react to environmental stimuli by manifesting a noticeable physical change when there is a difference in the conditions of their immediate surroundings. This notion, however, is also inter...
