The study aimed to examine students' actions and perspectives in a simulated learning environment for real-world BIM processes. The core intent was to provide an in-depth understanding of strategic and functional BIM implementation by synthesizing a suggestive pedagogical framework based on context-based learning approaches.Design/methodology/approachDerived from context-based approaches and experiential learning methods such as role-play, problem-based and active learning, the study involved a set of doctoral-level case studies. In a qualitative research study, these cases were devised and organized around industry-focused simulations on various levels of BIM implementation strategies.FindingsResults from the case studies and the student responses suggest that the comprehensive evaluation of real-world BIM implementation simulations facilitates a solid understanding of the value of BIM. The participation of industry professionals catalyzes the development of strategic and functional BIM competencies.Originality/valueThe study proposes a well-structured and replicable BIM learning framework based on context-based learning approaches. The novel framework is adaptive and flexible for BIM education. It can provide students with the necessary skills, strategic vision and professional competencies for innovative practices in the 21st-century AEC Industry. The simulative learning settings, including the evaluation rubrics and connected instructional methods, can be implemented and further developed for similar education efforts.

With the parametric abstraction of structural system components and kinematic behaviors, the design process was carried out in a BIM environment using KBIM models and objects. The study results show the effectiveness of the proposed KBIM framework for the synthesis and assessment of design alternatives according to total system performance, architectonic composition, and environmental responsiveness.

In contrast to conventional process rooted in successive refinement of initial abstractions and dependence on tacit knowledge, the Studio 21 BIM-aided process relies upon a complete and comprehensive base case and subsequent alternative schemes that are subjected to explicit analysis to support choice of the final design. The Studio 21 process can boost the objective level of performance that is achieved. It is teachable and may be a better process for addressing 21st century imperatives.

Using a dual-channel pedagogical framework the study employed an object-oriented ontological approach tightly integrated with the parameterization of building components and their behaviors. Students experienced a fully BIM-enhanced course for learning fundamental concepts of building systems and technology where the creation of parametric BIM models was the main vessel for comprehensive understanding. The results show significant conceptual and practical advantages of BIM-enabled learning as well as the observed challenges in an educational context. The study also suggests positive educational transformations due to carefully devised BIM-based pedagogical frameworks for the understanding of bu...

The study addresses how tailor-made and highly structured H-BIM approaches can effectively be implemented in preservation applications for historic vernacular buildings in the rural architecture context.Design/methodology/approachUsing inexpensive digital photogrammetry techniques tightly combined with an object-oriented BIM ontology, parametric meta-modeling and object/system propagation methods, the study employed a holistic H-BIM approach for capturing the materiality, building object behaviors and indigenous construction principles of a characteristic vernacular house that were synthesized in a parametric H-BIM model. The followed stages, steps and connected methods were systematized and articulated in a prototypical H-BIM implementation framework.FindingsThe study findings suggested that the developed parametric H-BIM approach can r...

The three-phase voltage profile along a given transmission line is obtained first. This profile is then converted into a colored picture by assigning different colors to phase signals according to their intensity. An interesting outcome of repeating this process for each time step is the emergence of the Bewley diagram [1] which is commonly used to illustrate the behavior of traveling waves in space-time. The main contribution of the paper is to show that RGB coloring of phase signals reveals essentially the same profile as the one obtained by using the aerial mode of the signals transformed into the modal domain. Furthermore, it discusses how this result can possibly be useful in applications such as fault location. Index Terms-Transmission line voltage profile, traveling waves, visualization of power systems.

All the faces of these polyhedra are bounded by smooth (quadratic B-spline) curves and the face boundaries are C 1 discontinues everywhere. These semi-regular polyhedral shapes are limit surfaces of a simple vertex truncation subdivision scheme. We obtain an approximation of these smooth fractal polyhedra by iteratively applying a new vertex truncation scheme to an initial manifold mesh. Our vertex truncation scheme is based on Chaikin's construction. If the initial manifold mesh is a polyhedra only with planar faces and 3-valence vertices, in each iteration we construct polyhedral meshes in which all faces are planar and every vertex is 3-valence,

The modellers that are based on traditional fractal methods or shape grammars usually create disconnected surfaces and restrict the creative freedom of users. In most cases, the shapes through conventional fractal or shape grammar methods are defined by hard coded schemes that allow limited interactivity for the design process. We present a new approach for modelling such shapes. With this approach, we have developed a simple generative tool with given adjustable parameters to achieve variety of conceptual forms. Using this tool, designers can interactively create a variety of partially self-similar manifold surfaces.

These processes and technologies are demanding a broader knowledge base and deeper skill set. The same technologies and processes create opportunities to meet and surpass the traditional architectural knowledge base that forms the basis for design education. Outlined in this paper are the results of three studies that employed BIM and parametric modeling within the context of simulated professional project delivery and compares the results using the new process to the NAAB Student Performance Criteria. From these studies, it appears that the alternative design method that employs BIM and parametric modeling is more rigorous and effective than the traditional method of instructing students with respect to the Student Performance Criteria in Realm B: Integrated Building Practices.

Although, environment-behaviour literature argues the social interactive spaces through proximity theory, there are only a very few contributions on its integration with visual capacity. Thus, the article aims at the visual impact of interior environment; it explores how social domains in a university building correlate to visual convex lines and how these settings are identified as sociofugal or sociopetal environments by using Space Syntax method. Students social behaviour at university buildings, their social interactions and their gathering areas are among the important issues of architectural programming and architectural design performance. These issues show many implications about the usage of interior spaces of university buildings and the characteristics of physical determinants, which play a part in social interaction in spaces. Thus, this article is aimed at exploring visual potential of interior design and the way they are interrelated to the notion of socio-behavioural phenomenon, depending upon the students life in university buildings. As there are many contributions to the physical characteristics of the environment , the socio-behavioural essence of the setting can be considered also as a determinant, such as issues like mental representations, architectural legibility, way finding, spatial identity or cognitive mapping. Space Syntax methods, especially e-partition analyses, not only help us to understand the level of visual stimulation in the interior space, but they also point out a specific place reflecting social interaction level of the setting. This specific place is mainly derived from topological properties such as memorable and describable characteristics of physical features and assigned functions. The notion of social interaction in space can be explained by major components forming the essence of social relation in the setting. In Barkers theory, elements such as actors, milieu, synomorphy and time are the important components for understanding the meaning of fitness of the activity . These components also identify the sociobehavioural nature of the space. In environment-behaviour literature, the terms such as sociopetal and sociofugal, describes the components as bringing people together and forcing them
