Generative AI Applications in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction: Trends, Implications for Practice, Education & Imperatives for Upskilling—A Review

Damilola Onatayo, Adetayo Onososen, Abiola Oluwasogo Oyediran et al. · 18 Oct 2024

This study investigates the current landscape of generative AI and LLM applications in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), focusing on trends, practical implications, educational strategies, and imperatives for upskilling. Employing a six-stage systematic review sourced from Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science, 120 papers were analyzed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role…

A Review of Collaborative Virtual Reality Systems for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry

Dimitrios Ververidis, Spiros Nikolopoulos, Ioannis Kompatsiaris · 8 Jul 2022

In this paper, we focus on interdisciplinary collaboration using intuitive virtual reality interfaces and building information models in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. These systems have been a topic of research and development for the past ten years; however, there is still no widely open standard format, related software platform, or guidelines that are…

Space Efficiency in Contemporary Supertall Residential Buildings

Hüseyin Emre Ilgın · 3 Sep 2021

Space efficiency is one of the most important design considerations in any tall building, in terms of making the project viable. This parameter becomes more critical in supertall (300 m+) residential towers, to make the project attractive by offering the maximum usage area for dwellers. This study analyzed the space efficiency in contemporary supertall residential…

A Beginner’s Guide to Developing Review-Based Conceptual Frameworks in the Built Environment

Fahim Ullah · 1 Sep 2021

With the boom of industry 4.0 technologies and their adoption in the built environment (BE), conceptual frameworks (CFs) are increasingly developed to facilitate the adoption. It is becoming increasingly important to develop a standard or guide for new BE research entrants and aspirants who want to conduct a systematic literature review and develop such CFs.…

Preliminary Design Proposals for Dovetail Wood Board Elements in Multi-Story Building Construction

Hüseyin Emre Ilgın, Markku Karjalainen · 22 Sep 2021

Adhesives and metal fasteners play important roles in the composition and connections of engineered wood products (EWPs) such as cross-laminated timber and glue-laminated timber in the building construction industry. However, due to their petroleum-based nature, adhesives can cause toxic gas emissions, while metal fasteners compromise the end-of-life disposal and reusability of EWPs. These issues adversely…
