A Knotworking Guideline for Building Projects: Bridging the Gap between Parti...IJERA Editor
The high level of complexity in today‟s building design requires a high level of multidisciplinary collaboration, which historically is uncommon in the Architecture, Construction and Engineering (AEC) sector. While the AEC sector accepts the requirement of collaboration, lack of knowledge on how to collaborate occurs. The Finnish method, Knotworking AEC, emphasises both collaboration and structure of building projects, which accommodates the lack of collaboration in the practices of the AEC sector. However, the recent development of Knotworking AEC implies a lack of written articles on Knotworking AEC, why three experiments were conducted to gain knowledge about how Knotworking is utilised in practice. Through a practice theoretical perspective, data was collected from existing literature and participant observation of two experiments. Subsequently, the practices and contradictions of the three experiments were analysed by practice theoretical methods. The result of this research is a Knotworking Guideline for Building Projects indicating both the phases, the participants and the tasks of each phase. The contribution of the result lies in the conduction of a Knotworking session from both a practical and research perspective to, respectively, enrich the AEC sector and the concept of Knotworking AEC.

Introduction BIM in Engineering Curriculum: Student Perspectives from Gaza St...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
BIM is one of the most recent acronyms to appear in the world of architecture and construction. However, the Palestinian construction industry is encountering several problems as lack of application modern information technology and the lack of interest in BIM by Palestinian universities in Gaza Strip. So, the universities adopted strategy of using BIM as an innovative technology to allow the acquisition of new skills for student. This paper investigated the current situation and future approaches to incorporating the BIM in the curriculum and main challenges facing the BIM in engineering colleges in Palestinian universities. The population consists of bachelor engineering students; quantitative approach had adopted to collect data by using a questionnaire survey specially prepared for this purpose which was distributed to student. Returned data from 152 engineering students responding to survey were subjected to proper statistical analysis. The results indicated the knowledge about the technique is low, and they were dealing with BIM applications for duration less than one year. Focused recommendation of these results, is containing this technique as educational courses in universities, and updating this courses for suiting the technology changes periodically, providing specialized academics in order to educating and credence it officially.
Covenant University location navigation system (CU Naviloc) built on the Android
platform is a mobile based system which can be easily accessed from an android
mobile device across any location, downloadable on Google play store and
deployable anywhere in the world. In this study,Computer-aided design as well as
building Information modelling (CAD/BIM) system applications were introduced to
the simulation of Covenant University, a smart and compact campus whose edifice
elaborates the need for the development of a three dimensional (3D) virtual model of
locations as an advancement over the existing 2D model representation of maps on
the Google map and Google Earth platform. Therefore, this research work outlays the
development of three dimensional models (CU NAViLoc Model) for details of
information at Covenant University as well as the requirements for its development

It is impossible to overstate the role that smart cities and the building resilience strategy play in the movement
toward environmental sustainability, particularly in industrialized and developing nations. There has been a rise
in the use of efficient systems to enhance built environment control and accomplish infrastructure development
projects, and for this to be successful, countries around the globe, including Nigeria, need robust smart cities and
buildings. Few researchers have looked at how smart cities and building projects might improve the sustainability
practices of Nigeria’s built environment in the context of environmental issues. The major research aim of
this study is to investigate the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in advancing urban
sustainability in the context of Lagos, Nigeria, amidst the city’s rapid population growth and the implementation
of smart city projects. The study’s research questions include the following: First, How can information and
communication technology (ICT) be leveraged to support the development of urban sustainability? Secondly,
what is the impact of ICT on stakeholders’ involvement and participation in urban sustainability? Thirdly, how
can stakeholders’ involvement and participation impact urban sustainability? Structural equation modeling
using partial least squares (SmartPLS 3.0 Edition) as an analysis tool was used to assess the suggested model and
the empirical study results in support of all the hypothesized associations. Results revealed that Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) is positively associated with smart urban sustainability. Also, a positive and
significant influence of ICT on consolidating stakeholder involvement and participation is paramount. Lastly,
smart city and building initiatives have the potential to significantly improve urban sustainability. The implication
of the study enables the possibility to optimize the impact of an ICT-based urban environment, thereby
creating sustainable and resilient communities that meet the needs and priorities of all members of society.
Construction sector remains crucial for any state and country for its rapid growth and development.. Majority of resources/spending in any nation is used by the construction sector. Creation of large and valuable assets has its genesis in the construction industry. Construction industry remains major consumer of resources and generation of the waste. It is also known to be largest generator of employment and promoter of industrialization. More than 290 industries are said to be involved in providing products which are used by the industry.

Online virtual environments where students can learn and interact somewhat realistically have great
potential for engineering studies, such as course resources, tools, and software that support learning and
educational practice. Here, we present a collaborative virtual environment for interactive learning and
immersive visualization with an interdisciplinary perspective. It allows users to visualize and sample
complex scenarios' structures and dynamics and interact with other users in the same virtual environment.
A series of controlled studies have been made in which participants were tasked with various emergency
decision goals. Moreover, it can also support the following integrated functions: 3-D spatial analysis, 3-D
visualization for spatial process, and 3-D spatial decision-making. The performance evaluation results
confirmed the proposed virtual environment's higher usability and user satisfaction. This approach will be
able to express opportunities for extending interdisciplinary knowledge in engineering education and
support the students in their creativity and collaboration skills.

Editor's Notes
Digital fabrication is a technology that is being applied in various sec-tors of the industry in the middle east. The application in laboratories is done with the aim to contribute to the modelling of buildings and structure in the field of Architectural Engineering, Mechanics, Bio-technology and more. Companies apply this technology to projects of different complexity. The methodology to be followed in this study is as per the below steps: 1. Literature review on current application of Digital Fabrication in the Industrial Sector in Middle East2. Current application of digital fabrication in UAE3. Digital fabrication of complex structures, material overview4. Findings and resultsThe aim is to analyze the current application of digital fabrication in academic environment such as UAE for a particular project of com-plex structures. Based of the literature review baselines are drawn. The analysis of the current application of the digital fabrication in UAEU creates the base for the focus of this research: 3D printing of Complex structures. The findings of this research can be of great use to the industrial sector but also to the Academic of Engineering College in UAEU.

Although digital fabrication of concrete has been hailed as a path to more environmentally friendly building through more resource-efficient design, the materials it has produced have larger carbon footprints and are likely to be less durable than those used in conventional construction.
In this brief article, a relationship to help understand how a structure affects the environment is introduced, and it is under-lined that the only distinctive environmental benefit that digital concrete offers is shape efficiency. Yet, efforts should still be made to bring digital concrete closer to normal concrete, particularly by adding big aggregates and more accurately describing the durability. [7]

University are still graduating digital analphabets....
The literature review presented in this paper highlights the current state of digital fabrication in the Middle East and its potential for future applications in the construction industry. The discussion section aims to provide further analysis and evaluation of the findings, as well as to identify gaps in the existing research and suggest future directions for investigation.
The potential of digital fabrication technologies in preserving cultural artifacts and building shelters in refugee camps was also explored in the literature review. The use of 3D scanners and printers can offer a reasonably economical method for preserving imperiled, lost, or damaged cultural artifacts. Furthermore, the study on the efficiency of printed shelter cost, time, and energy performances against timber and steel shelters provides valuable insights into the potential of 3D printing for building in refugee camps. Hence, we note the potential of 3D digital fabrication technologies to address humanitarian crises.
In conclusion, the literature review highlighted the current state of digital fabrication in the Middle East. The use of locally available materials in building has been investigated, and it was concluded that the earth-based materials for 3D printing have potential to realize sustainable architecture. The study also showed that the regional curricula is not keeping up with the fast-paced advances digital fabrication. The potential for preserving cultural artifacts and building shelters in refugee camps was also explored.
Based on the analysis of the literature, the applications of the digital fabrications currently are limited. Even though it is a futuristic path, our current technology al-lows a faster development of this industry. The main developments are in the com-plex design of structures, although limited to commercial elements of art. An im-provement in the 3D printing technology is done in the filed of the concrete 3D printing mainly for offices and housing projects. This is promising result for a future application to more complex shapes. Figure 12 shows how the complex design can have infinite forms, as the printing technology in terms of robotics used, materials applied, resistance of materials, cost of materials is in a developing process.
