Abstract
Understanding digital technology requires a shift in mindset that takes into account the broader implications of design, social dynamics, environmental factors, and cultural influences. Acknowledging the fact that technology is not confined to the virtual domain but rather has a tangible influence on our daily lives and the surrounding environment, the extensive integration and potential of digital technologies offer a distinctive prospect to fundamentally transform our shared comprehension of architecture. Digital technologies are revolutionizing design practices, manufacturing processes, and our engagement with and understanding of the built environment, by fostering the development of novel models that promote equity and inclusivity. The application of “digital technologies” can function as a methodology for examining and expressing the possible paths of emerging digital technologies. Extrapolate the expected impact of digital technologies on the design, development, and occupancy of the environment to achieve a more sustainable future in the long run. This paper will examine the potential connections and origins of digital technology concerning modularity, as well as the implications of modularity on forthcoming architectural developments in customization.
