Book Building Information Modeling for Airports

Download or read book Building Information Modeling for Airports written by Tamera Lee McCuen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Synthesis 70: Building Information Modeling for Airports summarizes current state of the art and practice for Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is a digital representation of a facility's physical and functional characteristics. BIM offers tools that allow airport decision makers to understand all components of a facility--their location, and their attributes, both graphically and systematically--to minimize the total cost of owning and operating an airport facility. The report provides a snapshot of experiences related to the emergence of BIM in North American airports.

  • Author : Richard Garber
  • Publisher : John Wiley & Sons
  • Release : 2017-03-27
  • ISBN : 1119317835
  • Pages : 150 pages

Download or read book Workflows written by Richard Garber and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workflows are being rethought and remodelled across the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) spectrum. The synthesis of building information modelling (BIM) platforms with digital simulation techniques and increasing access to data, charting building performance, is allowing architects to engage in the generation of new workflows across multidisciplinary teams. By merging digital design operations with construction activities, project delivery and post-occupation scenarios, architects are becoming instrumental in the shaping of buildings as well as the design process. Workflows expand the territory of architectural practice by extending designers’ remit beyond the confines of the design stage. The implications for the AEC industry and architecture as a profession could not be greater. These new collaborative models are becoming as important as the novel buildings they allow us to produce. Contributors include: Shajay Bhooshan, John Cays, Randy Deutsch, Sean Gallagher, Ian Keough, Peter Kis, Jonathan Mallie, Adam Modesitt, Rhett Russo, Dale Sinclair, and Stacie Wong. Featured architects: Arup, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, GLUCK+, GRO Architects, PLANT, Populous, Young & Ayata, and Zaha Hadid Architects.

Book Artificial Intelligence and Playable Media

Download or read book Artificial Intelligence and Playable Media written by Eric Freedman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-02 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to artificial intelligence (AI) through the lens of playable media and explores the impact of such software on everyday life. From video games to robotic companions to digital twins, artificial intelligence drives large sectors of the culture industry where play, media and machine learning coexist. This book illustrates how playable media contribute to our sense of self, while also harnessing our data, tightening our bonds with computation and realigning play with the demands of network logic. Author Eric Freedman examines a number of popular media forms - from the Sony AIBO robotic dog, video game developer Naughty Dog’s Uncharted and The Last of Us franchises, to Peloton’s connected fitness equipment - to lay bare the computational processes that undergird playable media, and addresses the social, cultural, technological and economic forces that continue to shape user-centered experience and design. The case studies are drawn from a number of related research fields, including science and technology studies, media studies and software studies. This book is ideal for media studies students, scholars and practitioners interested in understanding how applied artificial intelligence works in popular, public and visual culture.
