Description:

The intersection of digital technologies and immersive environments is transforming how architecture and construction are designed. The integration of modeling tools, virtual and augmented reality, and data-driven design processes are redefining industry practices. These innovations enable architects and engineers to visualize projects with unprecedented accuracy and foster collaborative decision-making across disciplines. Digital models and immersive spaces not only enhance efficiency and precision but also open new possibilities for creativity, sustainability, and user-centered design in the built environment.

Exploring Digital Models and Immersive Spaces in Architecture and Construction explores concrete answers and replicable workflows for interacting with digital models in immersive environments such as virtual and augmented reality using building information modeling or digital twins. This book shares experiences from different sectors that will promote new experiments and cross-pollination. Covering topics such as digital models, architecture, and construction, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, practitioners, and more.

Bolognesi Cecilia Maria Associate professor Politecnico di Milano short CV General information: Graduated in Architecture in 1987 at Politecnico di Milano, PhD in 1996 at University Institute of Architecture Venice, she is currently Associate Professor in the Scientific Sector ICAR/17 at the Department of Architecture, Building and Construction at Politecnico di Milano. She belongs to the ABC Department, Architecture and Building Construction in Politecnico where she is responsible for the implementation of the Digital Skills in the Master degree of the School, Scientific Director of LaborA (Fisical and Virtual Modelling laboratory of the Campus), part of the Scientific Committee of the SaperLab Laboratory (Computational Modelling Laboratory). She has experimented with operational and methodological application in national context, mainly related with tangible and intangible case study, focusing on the relationship between survey, representation in the field of digital heritage and BIM environments. She has worked in several public and private contexts dedicated to modelling from the territorial scale to construction scale to finalize BIM and Virtual Environments She has held conferences, curated some monographs and several papers on different topics: modelling, BIM, HBIM, Virtual environments and representation. She is responsible for projects on Virtuality and Digitalization, Digitalization and BIM and HBIM.

Simone Balin is a PhD candidate in Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, specialising in the collaborative intersection between Building Information Modelling, Immersive Technologies, and Artificial Intelligence. His research focuses on improving the representation, data management, and sharing of models in traditional digital environments and advanced immersive ecosystems. His primary research areas include Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Blockchain, BIM, Immersive Ecosystems, Metaverse, and Virtual Reality. He actively contributes to scientific publications at national and international levels.
