A vision towards an integrated methodological framework using smart construction techniques to reduce the effect of gravity in architectural design

This research aims to develop an integrated methodological framework that redefines traditional approaches to address the effect of gravity in architectural design using modern smart building techniques. The research reviews the fundamental limitations imposed by gravity on traditional structural systems, and reviews recent developments in smart materials (such as carbon fiber, aero-glass, and shape memory polymers), magnetic suspension systems, ultra-light lattice structures, and air pressure systems. Advanced numerical modeling techniques are used in conjunction with artificial intelligence to simulate multiple loading scenarios. The case study of the "Gravity Light Tower" showed the possibility of reducing the structural weight by up to 40% while achieving optimal load distribution and opening up prospects for forming flexible interior spaces. The results are supported by detailed quantitative analyses, expanded tables, and schematic diagrams that link technical performance with innovative design principles. These findings pave the way for updating building standards to enhance sustainability and innovation in design

Abstract

This research aims to develop an integrated methodological framework that redefines traditional approaches to address the effect of gravity in architectural design using modern smart building techniques. The research reviews the fundamental limitations imposed by gravity on traditional structural systems, and reviews recent developments in smart materials (such as carbon fiber, aero-glass, and shape memory polymers), magnetic suspension systems, ultra-light lattice structures, and air pressure systems. Advanced numerical modeling techniques are used in conjunction with artificial intelligence to simulate multiple loading scenarios. The case study of the "Gravity Light Tower" showed the possibility of reducing the structural weight by up to 40% while achieving optimal load distribution and opening up prospects for forming flexible interior spaces. The results are supported by detailed quantitative analyses, expanded tables, and schematic diagrams that link technical performance with innovative design principles. These findings pave the way for updating building standards to enhance sustainability and innovation in design
