Purpose There is an urgent call for transitioning towards a circular economy (CE) in housing. Pivotal to this transition is implementing business models aligned with CE principles, such as the ones informed by the product-service system (PSS). However, incorporating the PSS into housing to realize a CE faces significant challenges within an industr...

Transitioning to a circular housing economy necessitates innovative business models informed by Circular Economy (CE) principles. Yet, a business viewpoint is almost absent from the current circular housing discourse. Of various applicable business approaches, the Product-Service System (PSS) has frequently been put forward due to its resource redu...

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has struggled in its efforts to transition to a circular economy (CE) due to lock‐ins, where the industry remains entrenched in practices that resist this much‐needed transition. The solutions implemented so far have been unsuccessful. This failure can largely be attributed to the preva...

Despite the urgency of environmental concerns, a transition to Circular Economy (CE) housing has been slow to unfold. The challenge lies not just in technically designing houses and their elements to function within a closed system, but also in cultivating stakeholders' commitment to managing them in circular ways. This underscores the need to reth...

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry in Australia holds significant potential for driving the adoption of a circular economy (CE). With a contribution of up to 9% to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and an anticipated annual growth rate of 2.4%, the AEC industry is poised to play a crucial role in advancing CE pr...

Housing practices are forcing accelerated demand for natural resources and flow-on effects contribute to severe environmental consequences. Transition to a Circular Economy (CE) offers some respite from this mounting pressure. To date, however, efforts to implement a CE have primarily focused on addressing the technical challenges associated with t...

Blockchain and smart contracts are measures to speed up the diffusion of circular economy into construction processes. Nevertheless, integrated solutions that cover all the aspects of circular supply chain including network structure, business processes, and the products are still missing. This paper is an attempt to bridge this gap, through offeri...

The rapid increase of rates of change, disruptive events, risk and uncertainty increasingly threaten the long-term utilisation of hospital buildings. This challenge calls for an evolution in the lifecycle thinking that has always been integral to the hospital building design processes; or an approach that is termed ‘future proofing’. Yet the implem...

Background Innovation in hospital building design should be considered as a complex ecosystem with a heterogeneous set of actors....

The architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry has a reputation for low resource efficiency worldwide. Policymakers are exploring various avenues to address the issue, with one option being a shift toward a circular economy (CE). However, first one must identify how the relevant stakeholders perceive the concept. Hence, this study ai...

Purpose Despite the undeniable need for innovation in hospital building design, the literature highlights the disconnect between research and practice as the primary knowledge gap hindering such innovation. This study shows this focus to be an oversimplification, for the complex processes that trigger design innovations and impact their ecosystems...

This paper presents the development and evaluation of the Geelong Digital Outdoor Museum (GDOM) prototype accessible at https://gdom.mindlab.cloud. GDOM is a portable museum-our novel adaptation of the distributed museum model (Stuedahl & Lowe, 2013) which uses mobile devices to present museum collections attached to physical sites. Our prototype d...

Human emotions can be recognized from facial expressions captured in videos. It is a growing research area in which many have attempted to improve video emotion detection in both lab‐controlled and unconstrained environments. While existing methods show a decent recognition accuracy on lab‐controlled datasets, they deliver much lower accuracy in a...

Due to constantly changing requirements, future proofing is increasingly seen as an urgent need in hospital building design. However, as knowledge on future proofing hospital building design is yet to be consolidated, this study reviews the literature to clarify understanding of the concept in hospital building contexts. A scoping review methodolog...

The report provides a picture of the CE landscape in Australia, with discussions on the main areas (i.e. research and industry) as follows: Research • A surge in the number of research outputs on the CE–AEC industry is apparent from 2010–2020. China, with 139 documents, had the highest number of publications on the CE–AEC industry, followed by Spa...

Discovering traffic anomaly propagation enables a thorough understanding of traffic anomalies and dynamics. Existing methods, such as Outlier-Tree, are not accurate to find out the trend of abnormal traffic for two reasons. First, they discover the propagation pattern based on the detected traffic anomalies. The imperfection of the detection method...

This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion and research on the role of 3D virtual learning environments in teaching and learning. It specifically focuses on the use of video games as an enabling technology in construction higher education. As such, it investigates whether task complexity has any influence on an individual's preferred learning...

Despite the undeniable need for enhancements in hospital building design, there remain issues in the transition of and translation from research to innovation. While the literature highlights the Research/Practice gap as the prime obstacle, the interplay between research and other variables impacting design innovation remains unclear. This paper ai...

Emotions are expressed by humans to demonstrate their feelings in daily life. Video emotion recognition can be employed to detect various human emotions captured in videos. Recently, many researchers have been attracted to this research area and attempted to improve video emotion detection in both lab controlled and unconstrained environments. Whil...

Prediction of user behaviour has always been problematic in architectural design. Several methods have already been developed and explored to model human behaviour in architecture. However, the majority of these methods are implemented during post-design evaluation where the insights obtained can only be implemented in a limited capacity. There is...

Government actors, public agencies, industry and academics have struggled to change the rules of the existing business ecosystem to support the networked practices that were envisioned back in the 1980s with the introduction of building information modelling (BIM). Despite the industry’s far-reaching technological capabilities, BIM has primarily as...

Summary Airport Terminals contain, more frequently, structural components connecting them directly to railbased underground urban transport systems. Due to this connection of different structural systems, some sub-structural problems may occur and this may also be reflected in the overall scenario of the design scheme as well. Undergoing constructi...

Recent introduction and coupling of digitally mediated design and production environments facilitated a radical deviation from the traditional ways of using representations, knowledge assets, organizational forms and standards. Consequently, we observe an abundance of the traditional views of design and the emergence of new cognitive models/constru...
