Architecture has evolved continuously, aligning itself with the evolving needs and desires of society. The idea of interactive architecture emerged with the development of technologies and increment in environmental, functional, and human problems. Interactive architecture refers to the architecture which can change, adapt, and reconfigure to the needs of users and the environment in real time. A Space’s Interaction, flexibility, and integration both with the environment and individuals can be done with the help of IoT, artificial intelligence, sensors, actuators, etc. This research paper aims to explore diverse ways and potential in interactive architecture in responding to user needs and environmental dynamics. In the Indian context, the application of interactive architecture is limited, and embracing it will ensure innovation, efficiency, and enhanced user experience. We shouldn’t lag in the global evolution of design, adopting these advancements aligns with progress and enriches our built environment. To understand the user-centric perspective, a questionnaire survey (primary) was conducted involving 204 participants along with interviews (secondary). The study encompasses respondents of multiple disciplines, ranging from architects, architecture students, data science students, educators, and others to provide comprehensive insights. The finding of the paper presents that interactive architecture has the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work. Also, there are challenges like high cost, complex technology, and lack of understanding and awareness among the public. In conclusion, this research advances the existing theoretical discourse on interactive architecture and offers more practical insights for architects and other stakeholders in shaping the built environment.
