Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Residential spaces have been evolving continuously as a result of social, cultural, environmental, and technological changes, and human lifestyles have been in sync with these changes. Thanks to advancements in digital and information technology, residential spaces in the modern age are structures characteristic of a complex spatial system that facilitates human interaction and delivers new experiences. Thus, technology blurs the various boundaries of space. Accordingly, a new and smart residential space that functions actively and independently has emerged. Predictions regarding residential spaces and their formative changes have considerable significance in space design. The purpose of this study is to examine the features and types of smart residential spaces that are forming and changing according to changes in human lifestyles in the modern technological society. The directionality in design strategies for such spaces is presented in this paper. (Method) First, a literature review was employed to understand lifestyle changes that occurred after industrialization, their interactions with residential spaces, and modern people’s residential awareness. Second, an investigation was conducted to understand changes in residential forms that have accompanied technological advancement; contemporary types and features of smart residential spaces were also examined. Third, a strategic framework design was established based on the characteristics of smart residences; further, an investigation and analysis of previous cases regarding the smart residential environment were performed. (Results) Smart residential spaces form environments and structures that correspond to the life patterns of residents. An aesthetic and eco-friendly residence comes from a harmonious combination of natural materials and smart technologies. Additions to preexisting physical spaces ensure various information accessibilities; further, changes to residential spaces and environments reflect the need for unlimited sharing of information that does not require moving to a different location. The number of people seeking the conveniences of the smart residential environment is increasing. Furthermore, the smart residential environment requires a stronger technology-based approach. However, as technology becomes generalized and polished, emotional prerequisites associated with designs will definitely increase. (Conclusions) The primary concerns underlying the construction of residential spaces are humans and communications between humans and spaces—not the combination of spaces and technologies. Thus, construction is performed in response to the expansion of human consciousness as a representational method that reflects humans’ behaviors as they pertain to spaces. This study involved the exploration of a limited number of case studies; however, its findings may prompt various follow-up studies on smart residential space design.
