The interview
AUT's Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies interviewed Amir on digital twins: how virtual replicas of buildings and cities can help councils, designers and developers test decisions before they are built.
The research behind it
Professor Amir Ghaffarianhoseini has co-authored publications examining different aspects of digital twin technology: enabling technologies and implementation in construction, construction supply chains, education and training, sustainable urban development, and human wellbeing in cities. His work also includes editorial leadership on digital twin development and implementation. The publications below connect the interview to this wider body of research.
From research to a forthcoming book
This research also connects to Digital Twins for Sustainable Cities: Bridging Technology and Urban Environmental Management, a forthcoming Elsevier book.
One field. Many connected questions.

Professor Amir has extensive experience assessing proposed digital twin models for governments and national research funders internationally. Governments, councils and research funding bodies seeking an independent expert assessment of a submitted digital twin proposal are welcome to contact him. His breadth of experience across digital technologies, building performance, urban sustainability and human wellbeing can inform a critical assessment of the proposal’s technical approach, research quality, practical feasibility and potential public value.
Auckland climate vision
Professor Amir proposed an ambitious city-scale digital twin of Auckland focused on urban microclimate and climate-change mitigation. Developed as a research funding proposal, the concept remains a research vision rather than a funded or deployed city platform.
