Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial language, including representation and communication methods, is increasingly evolving based on building information modeling (BIM) in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Furthermore, as it is associated with Industry 4.0 technologies, BIM plays a key role in the digital transformation of the AEC industry, acting as a backbone that serves as an information and knowledge container and carrier that supports smart design, smart construction, and smart operation and maintenance (O&M) throughout the project lifecycle.
This Special Issue on “Advances in BIM-Based Architecture and Civil Infrastructure Systems” pursues not only academic advances but also industrial ones that include case studies and advanced practices. Therefore, the scope of this Special Issue covers research development, advanced practices, or case studies that involve BIM and/or Industry 4.0-relevant technologies, including but not limited to those listed in the keywords, throughout the AEC project lifecycle.
