Requirements’ elicitation is a critical step in construction projects as it affects design development, construction, and ultimately, impacts on value generation. In social housing retrofit projects it becomes especially relevant due to the improveme... Read More about Eliciting Requirements in Social Housing Retrofit Projects.

Strengthening Target Value Design Benefits in Real Estate Market Through Living Labs (2021)
Conference Proceeding
A. Oliva, C., Denis Granja, A., Engler Bridi, M., Soliman-Junior, J., Ayo-Adejuyigbe, M., & Tzortzopoulos, P. (2021). Strengthening Target Value Design Benefits in Real Estate Market Through Living Labs. In Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction (634-643). https://doi.org/10.24928/2021/0202

The Target Value Design (TVD) is a collaborative process where value drives the design process to achieve the client’s expectations while maintaining the costs and schedule under control. Its application has been successful in several construction pr... Read More about Strengthening Target Value Design Benefits in Real Estate Market Through Living Labs.

Living Labs in a Lean Perspective (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Soliman-Junior, J., Awwal, S., Engler Bridi, M., Tzortzopoulos, P., Denis Granja, A., Koskela, L., & Gomes, D. (2021). Living Labs in a Lean Perspective. In Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction (484-493). https://doi.org/10.24928/2021/0176

Living Labs (LLs) consist of social and dynamic environments that enable end-users and stakeholders to collaborate towards an innovation. This paper presents the concept of LLs and analysis on how it can foster communication and collaboration from a... Read More about Living Labs in a Lean Perspective.

Improving healthcare design with BIM-based tools (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Soliman-Junior, J., Parise Baldauf, J., Tzortzopoulos, P., kagioglou, M., S. Humphreys, J., & T. Formoso, C. (2020). Improving healthcare design with BIM-based tools. . https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/588/3/032003

It is well known that the quality of healthcare facilities can contribute to health and wellbeing. Healthcare design is complex due to the large amount of information involved, with sometimes conflicting requirements which evolve over time. Therefore...

The Relationship Between Requirements Subjectivity and Semantics for Healthcare Design Support Systems (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Soliman-Junior, J., Pedo, B., Tzortzopoulos, P., & Kagioglou, M. (2020). The Relationship Between Requirements Subjectivity and Semantics for Healthcare Design Support Systems. . https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-51295-8_55

Subjectivity exists in requirements described in the healthcare regulatory framework. This is mainly due to the nature of regulatory requirements and the uniqueness of the design process. Past research identified that subjectivity in regulations is a... Read More about The Relationship Between Requirements Subjectivity and Semantics for Healthcare Design Support Systems.

Exploring Mistakeproofing in Healthcare Design (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Soliman-Junior, J., Tzortzopoulos, P., & Kagioglou, M. (2020). Exploring Mistakeproofing in Healthcare Design. In Proceedings of the 28th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC28) (193-204). https://doi.org/10.24928/2020/0034

The process of verifying the compliance of design solutions to regulations is critical in healthcare design due to the complexity of the requirements present in healthcare settings. The majority of previews research concentrates on “mistake-searching... Read More about Exploring Mistakeproofing in Healthcare Design.
