Advances in BIM-Based Architectural Design and System

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, associating with Industry 4.0 technologies, BIM plays a key role in the digital transformation of the AEC industry as a backbone that serves as an information and knowledge container and carrier with supporting smart design, smart construction, and smart operation and maintenance (O&M) throughout the project lifecycle.

This Special Issue on “Advances in BIM-Based Architectural Design and System” pursues not only academic advances but also industrial ones that include case studies and advanced practices. Therefore, the scope of the issue covers research development, advanced practice, 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.
