SUMMARY

In recent years construction innovation and research have undergone a major change of direction. Both the academic and industrial communities have devoted huge effort on the development of a single building and product model and on the expansion of 3D CAD modelling with other design attributes, such as time and cost. This essential book introduces the concept of nD modelling, which takes the theory of computer modelling of the built environment to n dimensions. nD modelling utilises a decision support tool for systematic assessment and comparison between various design parameters such as cost, accessibility, maintainability, sustainability, crime, energy, whole life costing, acoustics and scheduling among others. Constructing the Future is a comprehensive book which provides a global perspective on the concept of nD modelling and examines its impact on construction, from development to application. The text offers a critique of competing views that seek to justify (or ignore) the role of nD modelling in the future of construction as well as describing developments in this area which are already happening worldwide.Aouad, Ghassan is the author of 'Constructing the Future nD Modelling', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415391719 and ISBN 0415391717.
