Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cognitive building is a pioneering topic to envision the future of our built environment. The concept of "cognitive" steps towards a paradigm shift from the static concept of the building as a container of human activities is nearer to the modernist vision of "machine à habiter" of Le Corbusier, where the technological content adds the capability of learning from users' behavior and environmental variables to adapt itself to achieve main goals such as users comfort, energy-saving, flexible functionality, high durability, and good maintainability. The concept is based on digital frameworks and IoT networks towards the smart city concept.
