Summary:The field of architecture has always been a multi-disciplinary subject, with material innovation being an integral part ever since the evolution of structures. The development of structures has been a result of the exploration of materials and, in contemporary scenario where nano-scale is the focus for innovation, its application in building construction is not far behind. Although not in the driving seat, nanotechnology in architecture is gaining momentum as newer materials evolved at a nano-level find their way into mainstream construction. The study intends to present an overview in the domain of nano-materials, bridging the gap between material science and architecture by reviewing existing technologies under the spectrum of nanoarchitecture (nanotechnology + architecture) for innovation of materials, its application and future of nanomaterials in architecture.
