|---|
| Abstract. The global transition toward digital transformation has revolutionized architecture and construction, paving the way for intelligent systems that improve sustainability, efficiency, and livability. Smart buildings, smart villages, and smart cities represent an interconnected framework where architecture integrates information technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Building Information Modeling (BIM), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics. This paper explores the application of these technologies in the field of architecture, focusing on energy management, sustainable urban planning, and digital infrastructure. The study highlights examples from both global and Azerbaijani contexts, including the “Aghaly Smart Village” project in Zangilan, which stands as a leading model for post-conflict reconstruction and rural innovation. |
