In recent decades, modernist ideology almost lodging questions the designs of life and, approaches the building as something that can alter over time and, not harm the environment. On the other hand, a wide range of advanced materials has affected the prospects of science and technology in construction. In the same way, self-healing materials lead to the advancement of economical innovation within the field of nanotechnology. Although it has been claimed that self-healing materials a sort of Nano materials to form multidimensional values for sustainability and green buildings, the results of value creation are still insufficiently understood and taken into account in decision making. For this reason, the purpose of this project is to examine the structure of self-healing materials and their impact on the design process of green buildings. This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of nanomaterial-based self-healing concrete using grounded theory, a type of qualitative study that includes environmental impacts, sustainability, and methods of use and its placement in the design of flexible houses by a type of quantitative method, a Causal-Comparative. It will be discussed and sought to determine what the future of Nano-materials and their implications for flexible architecture will be.
