Project title: Large-scale real-time data processing and knowledge mining for life cycle built environment design, construction and operation

Sustainable built environment design, construction and operation is inherently multi-objective-oriented; it requires holistic considerations for aesthetics, health, security, safety (structure, fire, earth quake, etc.), resilience, serviceability, adaptability and so on. Therefore, it becomes extremely complex with the superposition of long-term life cycle proactive considerations (e.g. climate changes). BIM (Building Information Modelling) is one of the most important research and industry topics recently emerging in AEC area in terms of its revolutionarily game-changing methodology - from standalone / isolated to inter-connected / integrated working mode by providing standardized industry data format, information and process.
