This paper provides a comprehensive review of the use of nanotechnology in architecture that reflects the global technological movement towards a better built environment. It focuses on the applications and functions of nanomaterial in architecture. Many products involving nanotechnology are already available, and the future applications seem endless in various areas, including energy and material design. Together with architecture, it makes up the nano architecture style, which is the use of nanotechnology in architecture by either the new customized materials or the new shapes and forms of buildings. This paper presents some examples for the use of new nanomaterial in existing buildings, which show the limitless feasibility of the application of the technological inventions of the nano sciences. The findings of this research indicate the importance of promoting the state-of-the-art technologies to the architects of the 21st century to make them aware of such contemporary issues, and to help maintain the currency and sustainability of newly designed buildings.
