RISBenchmarking Current Conceptual High-Rise Design Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of current conceptual design processes for high-rise buildings. We synthesize a method to document and measure these processes and use it to analyze data from several case studies and a ...
BIM and GIS Integration and Interoperability Based on Semantic Web Technology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When making design and construction decisions, planners must consider information from different scales and domains. Currently, building and geospatial data are shared and exchanged through a common data format, such as ...

Framework for Measuring the Rationale Clarity of AEC Design Decisions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) design processes often rely on precedent to resolve complex decisions. However, changes to stakeholder concerns, design methods, and building products devalue much ...
Relationships between Project Complexity and Communication
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry delivers increasingly complex projects but struggles to leverage information technology to facilitate communication on these projects. To begin to address this ...
CAD-Centric Attribution Methodology for Multidisciplinary Optimization Environments: Enabling Parametric Attribution for Efficient Design Space Formulation and Evaluation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) processes that automate the workflow between a parametric product model and performance simulation engines can compress design cycle time, increase design knowledge, and yield ...
Demonstrating the Impact of the Occupant on Building Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Designers often cite uncertain occupant behavior as a potential obstacle to high performing buildings. However, little research has been done to characterize the nature and extent of the potential impact of the occupant ...
Measuring and Improving Rationale Clarity in a University Office Building Design Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper measures and improves the clarity of design rationale on an architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) project and observes the effects. The rationale clarity framework (RCF) defines decisions in terms ...
Application of Design Scenarios Methodology to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Transparent Parametric Design Spaces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Quality designs generally emerge from a conceptual design process that generates and communicates large design spaces of objectives, alternatives, impacts, and values. Parametric modeling is a popular means for generating ...
Four-Dimensional Modeling to Support Construction Planning of the Stata Center Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The application of 4-D models to the Ray and Maria Stata Center project on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is summarized. The general contractor’s decision to build the 4-D models is discussed, and ...
