Exploring the Future of Housing-Technology Interaction with Literature

Abstract

This research aims to examine the interactivity between house and technology and explore the prominent subjects and concepts about imagining the future of houses. For this purpose, it is utilized systematic literature approach which involve qualitative and quantitative methods. According to this, research codes (house, home, technology, future, and transformation) are determined, and these codes are examined in different combinations on the Scopus database. These data are analyzed by the maps and diagrams obtained by the VOSviewer program, and their densities, temporalities, and relationalities are spotted, and focus articles are examined in detail. According to research findings, the subjects in imagining the future of house are internet of things, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, smart homes, and smart buildings. When the research was deepened, digital domesticity, ubiquity, smart home devices, and physical mobility subjects indicated the substantial research areas in imagining the future of a house. Besides, it can be said that the transformation of the house under technology includes changing types of perceiving and using the space in addition to physical change. Another research finding is that the concept of home is used in semantic and physical transformations. Because of this, using the concept of home is more appropriate to enhance the holistic perception.
