The Relationship Between Intelligence and Place: From Smart Architecture to "Intelligent Place"

The present research aims to recognize the indices of Smart and concepts related to "Intelligence" as well as to explain its relationship with architecture. Specifically, it aims to present strategies for the convergence of the concepts of "Intelligence" and "Place" in order to achieve phenomenon of "Intelligence Place" based on its defining concepts and features.

The present research is a combination of analytical and descriptive methods based on formative foundations of concept of smartness and its influential features in architecture. After examining specialized texts, extracted concepts and fundamental relationships and various approaches are analyzed, providing a comprehensive combination to explain the "Intelligence Place".

Intelligence is an essential feature in shaping spatial quality in the present era. Three fundamental features of this concept can be expressed as formal-physical intelligence, functional-behavioral intelligence, and semantic-conceptual intelligence. If all three mentioned features occur, "Comprehensive Intelligence " is achieved, and in combination with formative features, It leads to the phenomenon of " Intelligence Place."

The concept of place, considering interaction of defining features and levels, which originates from a conceptual and fundamental basis in architecture on one hand, and understanding concepts of intelligent and influential factors in formation of intelligent as a variable idea in form and structures that are dynamic intelligent structures, through the stability foundation of intelligent architecture as an achievement on the other hand, is under investigation, and the most important result of the explained concepts can be considered phenomenon of " Intelligence Place."
