Digital twins
In Construction Innovation, Amir and his co-editors brought together twelve papers on digital twins and Construction 4.0, chosen for solutions grounded in real, industry-based projects: augmented and mixed reality for inspection, semantic models of existing buildings, deep learning for construction management, VR safety training and circular economy.
Future construction
A companion issue of Smart and Sustainable Built Environment, with the same editorial team, gathered design solutions and approaches for the future of construction.
