Abstract

Our built world is one of the most important factors for a livable future, accounting for massive impact on resource and energy use, climate change, but also the social and economic aspects coming with population growth. The architecture, engineering, and construction industry is facing the challenge that it needs to substantially increase its productivity, yet alone the quality of the building of the future. In this paper, we discuss these challenges in more detail, focusing on how digitization can facilitate this transformation of the industry, and link them to opportunities for visualization and augmented reality research. We illustrate solution strategies for advanced building systems based on wood and fiber.
