Considering Human-Centred System Design in Relation to Cognitive and Educational Theories (2024)
Presentation / Conference
Panakaduwa Gamage, C. (2024, June). Considering Human-Centred System Design in Relation to Cognitive and Educational Theories. Paper presented at Smart Digital Futures: KES-HCIS 2024 Conference, Madeira, Portugal

Human-centred system design [HCSD] became a priority in system design when the designers identified the importance of user engagement. This was provided by the adoption of aligned technical sophistications. The concept of HCSD has come a long way sin...

Building Information Modelling (BIM), utilised during the design and construction phase of a project has the potential to create a valuable asset in its own right ('BIMASSET') at handover that in turn enhances the value of the development
Presentation / Conference
Patrick, R., Munir, M., & Jeffrey, H. Building Information Modelling (BIM), utilised during the design and construction phase of a project has the potential to create a valuable asset in its own right ('BIMASSET') at handover that in turn enhances the value of the development. Presented at The Twelfth International Conference for Enhanced Building Operations (ICEBO), Manchester

BIM currently appears to be seen primarily as a vehicle to deliver efficiencies within the design and construction phases of built assets lifespan.
In this paper, we postulate that the amalgamation of the data and its capture in the BIM technologie...
