Designerly Approach to Highperformance Architecture: Interaction of Context and Emerging Technologies

Emerging technology is a part of the international identity of contemporary architecture. Architectural algorithms as a practical tool have influenced modern designs. The aim of the research is to reformulate future architecture through examination of the visual, form and functional characteristics of buildings. Achieving the goal of the research requires creating a theoretical framework for the role of emerging technologies and determining the levels and mechanisms of their application to form the identity of highperformance architecture.

The research methodology is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods with a theorization approach and exploratory survey of examples of projects that have been influenced by emerging technologies. The results have been analyzed based on three-way analysis, Likert scale and using SPSS statistical software.

The main indicators investigated in the research have an effective role with an impact rate of 40 to 100 percent. The obtained numerical results indicate the confirmation of research hypotheses and the necessity of a designerly approach to highperformance architecture.

The results of the research emphasize the capacity of emerging technologies in interaction with contextual identity. The results concluded in the significance of highlighting the Islamic Iranian identity of the country as a field for realizing the highperformance architecture theory. The conclusion of the research shows that a designerly approach to highperformance architecture is a prerequisite to interaction between context and emerging technologies. Islamic Iranian identity should be seen as a scene for visioning the future architecture and the architecture of the future.
