Advancements in computing, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, and Construction Technology have revolutionized the design, construction, and operation of the built environment. The abundance of data enables enhanced performance, sustainability, and efficiency through improved decision-making, urban dynamics analysis, energy prediction, fault detection, holistic design, additive manufacturing, and more.

Digitalization serves key goals: decarbonization, performance optimization, occupant comfort, safety, and cost efficiency, while reducing resource use, operational costs, and risks. It supports best practices, streamlines construction processes, predicts costs and progress, and offers insights into real estate trends, traffic, space utilization, and occupant behavior.

In every aspect, digitalization is a transformative force for the built environment!

Submission Guidelines

The submissions and presentations should target the academic and practical research audience and may contain work in progress. We invite technical papers and organizational and management research on digitalisation in Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations.

Possible themes include, but are not limited to:

• Data modelling, management and visualization
• Building Information Management and City Information Management
• Analyses and simulations for the planning and design of buildings, urban spaces and infrastructure
• Generative design and optimization in design and execution
• Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence in the built environment
• Combining model-driven (BIM) and data-driven (ML, AI) design methods
• Structural health monitoring of buildings and infrastructure
• Smart buildings and infrastructure
• Industrialization & smart manufacturing systems
• Robots and ‘cobots’ on the building site
• VR/AR/MR/xR for design and life cycle management
