Download or read book Industry 4 0 Solutions for Building Design and Construction written by Farzad Pour Rahimian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides in-depth results and case studies in innovation from actual work undertaken in collaboration with industry partners in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Scientific advances and innovative technologies in the sector are key to shaping the changes emerging as a result of Industry 4.0. Mainstream Building Information Management (BIM) is seen as a vehicle for addressing issues such as industry fragmentation, value-driven solutions, decision-making, client engagement, and design/process flow; however, advanced simulation, computer vision, Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, machine learning, deep learning, and linked data all provide immense opportunities for dealing with these challenges and can provide evidenced-based innovative solutions not seen before. These technologies are perceived as the “true” enablers of future practice, but only recently has the AEC sector recognised terms such as “golden key” and “golden thread” as part of BIM processes and workflows. This book builds on the success of a number of initiatives and projects by the authors, which include seminal findings from the literature, research and development, and practice-based solutions produced for industry. It presents these findings through real projects and case studies developed by the authors and reports on how these technologies made a real-world impact. The chapters and cases in the book are developed around these overarching themes: • BIM and AEC Design and Optimisation: Application of Artificial Intelligence in Design • BIM and XR as Advanced Visualisation and Simulation Tools • Design Informatics and Advancements in BIM Authoring • Green Building Assessment: Emerging Design Support Tools • Computer Vision and Image Processing for Expediting Project Management and Operations • Blockchain, Big Data, and IoT for Facilitated Project Management • BIM Strategies and Leveraged Solutions This book is a timely and relevant synthesis of a number of cogent subjects underpinning the paradigm shift needed for the AEC industry and is essential reading for all involved in the sector. It is particularly suited for use in Masters-level programs in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book uses case studies and real-life experiences to present the optimum project delivery systems in terms of contractual arrangements for a variety of building projects. This is designed to allow the reader to become aware of the evolving conditions in the practice of architecture and construction. A critical hands-on guide, this book provides practical, real-world perspective using the authorÕs professional experience as designer, constructor, and owner for a variety of buildings with a total value of over $100 million and presents case studies based on the authorÕs actual experiences in those three areas. And it includes several case studies that focus on leadership capabilities and the skills necessary for success in building design and construction. It also provides references to sources needed to help solve the case studies in the book, such as other reference books, contract forms, public agencies, private practitioners, and many more. Most important, it discusses the skills needed to successfully address regulatory issues and to deal with government agencies. An essential reference for every professional who designs, builds, or owns major buildings.
Download or read book Building Design and Construction Systems written by Picard Henderson and published by Larsen and Keller Education. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A building can be defined as a structure, which has a roof and walls. The architectural, technical and engineering applications for designing buildings is referred to as building design. Zoning requirement, investigation of the environmental impact of construction, budgeting, scheduling, logistics, inconvenience to the public, construction-site safety, etc. are some of the considerations involved in design and execution. The construction of building is carried out differently for residential and non-residential or commercial setups. It involves the principal areas of planning, design and financing. The topics included in this book on building design and construction systems are of the utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It explores all the important aspects of these fields in the present day scenario. It will serve as a reference to structural engineers, building designers, architects and students.

Download or read book Teaching and Learning Building Design and Construction written by David Dowdle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation in building design and construction depends on innovative strategies being developed by teachers and practitioners, made available to students and then professionally adopted. Successful transfer of this knowledge relies on appropriate support for both students and academics to ensure the new knowledge is translated into a format appropriate to the learner's current state of understanding, often using a constructivist, student-centred learning approach. This special issue of the journal Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines new strategies to manage effectively a growing number of students and a changing student profile in the built environment sector. Written by international experts in the field, core themes covered include student-centred learning, practice-based learning, good practice and evaluation, and instructional systems design. Several papers are devoted to virtual learning, focusing on e-pedagogy, standardisation, bridging the gap between academia and industry, and virtual learning environments. This peer-reviewed publication will be invaluable reading for lecturers and students on architecture and civil engineering courses, professional architects and engineers, and all interested in T&L, continuing professional development and distance learning in the built environment sector.
