Abstract

In the last two decades, there has been a great revolution in materials science and technology. Suitable materials make
modern life easier, safer, and more comfortable. Starting from the flexible polymers in the chair you're sitting on, the metal ball-point pen you're properly using and the modern concrete that constructed the building you live or work in, to the materials that make up the urban image, including spaces and its landscape design elements, all these items are created and shaped by materials science and technology. They are engineered to give us the greatest possible control on projects and applications, from design to detailed drawings including timelines, economic costs, and ultimately control over quality results. Accordingly, research determined one creative material which represents an innovative concept that can efficiently solve many of the urban and landscape projects problems, focused on “structural fill challenges*", which could cause negative impact on projects management major factors (Time, cost, and quality), as well as exploring how smart materials technology systems can be applied to that challenge, and proving how it helps in solving such problems, by studying specific cases from different countries. On the other hand, research showed that new materials and technology systems can create the imagination of landscape architects with less structural boundaries, for the sake of achieving user needs, and the aesthetic values of the city image.
