Innovation and Efficiency in Smart Architecture: A Focus on Sustainable Building Design

Smart and sustainable architecture has transformed the construction industry, fostering environmental awareness and efficient use of resources. This research analyses the social impact of smart practices in the design of sustainable buildings. A qualitative, non-experimental methodology was used, examining documentary sources and real projects such as Pixar Building, Suzlon One Earth, and Bosco Verticale, all of which are LEED certified for sustainability. The findings reveal that sustainable design optimizes the use of natural resources, reduces environmental impact, improves efficiency, and decreases dependence on polluting energies. These projects not only improve the physical environment, but also increase environmental awareness and foster social development, generating spaces that contribute to collective well-being. In conclusion, sustainable architecture effectively addresses environmental challenges, while promoting more equitable and environmentally responsible social development, positioning itself as a key strategy for the future of urban design.
