1 Materials in architecture and design
1.4 Characteristics of smart materials and systems "Whether a molecule, a materials, a composite, an assembly, or a system, 'smart materials and technologies' will exhibit the following characteristics:

Immediacy - they respond in real time
Transiency - they respond to more than one environmental state
Self-actuation - intelligence is internal to rather than external to the 'material'.
Selectivity - their response is discrete and predictable.
Directness - the response is local to the 'activating' event"
