This book discusses how the role of traditional construction professional is changing, providing a useful guide for practitioners who would like to upskill themselves. Lately, core concepts and methodologies for the Built Environment are presented providing definitions and applications on Building Information Modelling, Computational Design, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Data Analytics and Visualization, Lean Construction, Advanced Project Management, Sustainability, Geographical Information Systems, Advanced Business Models, Disaster Management, Quality Management, Health and Safety and Legal prospective. The book also shows the latest technologies for the Built Enviro...
While it is undeniable that architectural practices have been transformed with the advent of digital technologies, they nevertheless continue to occupy an ambiguous or even problematic place within the design process. The underlying premise of this book on architectural design instruments is not to see them simply as means to an autonomous end, one that is pure and detached from any other technological aspect, but instead to see these instruments and their formative abilities as a different way in which architects can approach design. We maintain that it is through the very act of experimentation with these instruments that their various potentials are revealed and established. It is through such repeated experimentation, which is constantly being revised and consolidated, that practice is successfully and sustainably transformed. This view is less of a wish than it is an observation, and as such, it can be seen in the various practices that are analyzed in this book.
This book collects contributions of forefront research and practices related to the use of the enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 in the architecture and design fields and their impact on the UN's Sustainable Developments goals. The book is structured into three sections (research, practice, and technologies), with the goal of creating a new framework useful for widespread awareness necessary to initiate technology transfer processes for the benefit of the public sector, universities, research centers, and innovative companies, and a new professional figure capable of controlling the entire process is essential. Thus, the book chapters arouse a series of relevant topics such as computatio...
This book includes the refereed Selected Papers of the 20th International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design. INTERCONNECTIONS: Co-computing Beyond Boundaries, CAAD Futures 2023, held in Delft, The Netherlands, in July 5–7, 2023. The 43 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 144 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: algorithmic architectural design; AI-powered architectural ideation; performance-based design, urban models and analysis; urban design; digital design, materials and fabrication; spatial information, data and semantics; building data analysis, visualisation, interaction; and building massing and layouts.
Adapt As An Architect: A Mid-Career Companion is the only book that helps design professionals to navigate the vast heart of the architect’s journey. It serves as a roadmap: a career GPS that provides options for architects getting from where they are today to where they really want to be. The focus of this optimistic, engaging book is on continued relevance, professional engagement, perseverance, and career longevity. It argues that mid-career is the lynchpin of the architect’s career, and provides the guidance and support that practices themselves are missing for emerging professionals, who are often left to their own devices to find their way as they approach the middle of their career. This book means architects don’t need to navigate these years on their own.
Les pratiques architecturales ont été indéniablement transformées par l’arrivée des technologies numériques. Celles-ci semblent néanmoins toujours occuper une place ambiguë, voire problématique, au sein des processus de conception. Cet ouvrage sur les instruments de la conception architecturale ne considère pas ces derniers comme un simple moyen pour parvenir à une fin autonome, pure, ou détachée de toute technicité. Au contraire, ces instruments, et leurs capacités structurantes, sont une des sources qui amènent à penser différemment les manières de concevoir de l’architecte. C’est au travers de l’acte même, dans l’expérimentation avec les instruments, que leurs différentes potentialités se déploient et se consolident. C’est au travers de ces expérimentations répétées, révisées et stabilisées, que les pratiques parviennent à se transformer, durablement. Il s’agit là d’un constat qui a pu être repéré dans les différentes pratiques analysées dans Les instruments de la conception architecturale.
Les défis auxquels l'environnement bâti doit répondre sont de plus en plus nombreux. Entre contextes sociaux complexes, programmes économiques sous pression et nécessité de construire et d'habiter de manière performante et durable, les attentes qui r

Quand la recherche nourrit l'enseignement, quand l’enseignement impacte la recherche, des ponts se construisent. De part et d’autre, une intention commune: comprendre le monde par le traitement des savoirs. Comme le décrit Diane Leduc dans son introduction, les enseignants-chercheurs poursuivent une double finalité: résoudre des problèmes et créer de nouveaux savoirs, d’une part, et transformer les savoirs en situations d’apprentissage, d’autre part. Dans cet ouvrage collectif, les articles sont répartis en trois parties, chacune symbolisant un type de ponts: les ponts assurant des connexions directes entre enseignement et recherche, les ponts ancrés dans l’expérimentation et pouvant mener à des retombées sur le plan de l'enseignement et, enfin, les ponts entre différentes disciplines, qui permettent de dégager des hybridations de savoirs sur l’espace et le construit.
Penser le BIM à travers ses différents registres (création, techniques et sciences) est aujourd'hui la clé pour réussir son déploiement. En effet, qu'il s'agisse des bâtiments ou des infrastructures, en projet ou construits, les pratiques du BIM fo
