...Suha Jaradat; Lara Alshawawreh; Narda Beunders Purpose Design for adaptability (DFAD) has not been widely explored in architectural literature and in refugee camps particularly. This study investigates the use of DFAD in refugee camps to maximise the benefits of developing home-based enterprise...

...Margherita Lisco; Henrik Szentes Purpose Digitalization and circularity are core elements to achieve sustainable development and call for innovation in the building sector. Although reusing building parts is recognized as a viable strategy, it requires adapted design approaches. Generative design...

... environment (BE), prior studies have focused on the operating room, giving scant attention to support areas. This study takes a broader perspective, aiming at developing BE design knowledge supportive of RP at the surgical service as a whole. Design/methodology/approach Seven BE design prescriptions...

... with the application of robotics in the assembly-type manufacturing of industrialized construction. Design/methodology/approach To facilitate the selection of suitable robotic arms for industrialized construction activities, primarily assembly-type manufacturing tasks of offsite production processes, an activity...

... on buildings and shown us that our dwellings are not designed for such purposes. This is partly due to the fact that homes are designed and built for occasional use rather than isolated and long-term occupation. The legislative system of a country plays an important role in defining and shaping the conditions...

...Sheida Shahi; Philip Beesley; Carl Thomas Haas Purpose It is crucial to consider the multitude of possible building adaptation design strategies for improving the existing conditions of building stock as an alternative to demolition. Design/methodology/approach Integration of physics-based...

...Abdulrahman M. Almufarrej; Tohid Erfani Purpose The two main contributing factors that control the overall buildings’ energy performance are the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system and the envelope design. Environmental design guidelines that consider these two factors aim...

...Sanaz Tabatabaee; Mojtaba Ashour; Saeed Reza Mohandes; Haleh Sadeghi; Amir Mahdiyar; M. Reza Hosseini; Syuhaida Ismail Purpose Green walls (GWs), comprising living walls and green facades, have been touted as environmentally friendly products in architectural design. GWs can be viable in every...

.... The factors are used as a set of key metrics for proposing a predictive model for virtual, augmented and mixed reality (MR) acceptance by users. This model is called the extended TAM for MRDT adoption in the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry. Design/methodology/approach...

... of the building design process. Design/methodology/approach Cost and design data from 104 projects constructed over the past five years in Jordan were used to develop, train and test ANN models. At the detailed design stage, 53 design factors were utilized to develop the first ANN model; then the factors were...

.... But the trend in a holistic approach is minimal. Thus, the paper aimed to systematically investigate Green BIM research and implementation trends using a mixed-method and also show the prospects of holistic Green BIM implementation. Design/methodology/approach First, we conducted a Scientometrics analysis...

...Sahin Akin; Oguzcan Ergun; Elif Surer; Ipek Gursel Dino Purpose In performative architectural design, daylighting is a crucial design consideration; however, the evaluation of daylighting in the design process can be challenging. Immersive environments (IEs) can create a dynamic, multi-sensory...

...Yi-Kai Juan; Hao-Yun Chi; Hsing-Hung Chen Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a virtual reality (VR)-based and user-oriented decision support system for interior design and decoration. The four-phase decision-making process of the system is verified through a case study of an office...

...) to create a model to design modular buildings. Design/methodology/approach This research adopts a design science research approach. Explanation I (substantive theory devising based on the analysis of an artefact ‒ a low-income housing project) is used, followed by Solution Incubation (a model...

...Petteri Uusitalo; Olli Seppänen; Antti Peltokorpi; Hylton Olivieri Purpose Although prior studies have noted the importance of trust for project performance, research remains scant on describing the role of trust when using lean design management (LDM) in projects. The purpose of this paper...

... to expand the existing literature on integrated design and construction education and offer an alternative model for academic students’ collaboration when restructuring curriculums is not possible in the short term. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a qualitative research methodology, which...

...Hande Aladağ; Zeynep Işık Purpose In build-operate-transfer (BOT) transportation projects, design and construction phases are critical in terms of their effect on time and cost overruns. The purpose of this paper is to identify the role of risk factors affecting these phases and their significance...
