Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [3/35] Der er i øjeblikket megen fokus på digitale objektorienterede modeller i byggebranchen. Branchen er begyndt at omstille sig fra udelukkende at anvende traditionelle 2D-tegninger til at anvende 3D-modeller, hvor data kan genbruges til en række formål i hele byggeprocessen og bygningens levetid. Aalborg Universitet er stærkt engageret i Erhvervs- og Byggestyrelsens udviklingsprojekt der skal munde ud i, at de statslige bygherrer fra 2007 stille krav om, at alle byggedata ved statslige byggerier håndteres og udveksles digitalt. Med udgangspunkt i erfaringerne fra ”Det Digitale Byggeri” og nært beslægtede forskningsprojekter vil underviserne give en introduktion til en række centrale problemstillinger, aktuelle værktøjer og udviklingstendenser indenfor den digitale byggeproces og objektorienterede bygningsmodeller.

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [7/35] A COMPLEX PROCESS -the building process is one of the most complex and less formalized applied processes -Building process actors using different ICT tools, languages and model formalisms with a rich spectrum of user interfaces with different characteristics -A very cross scientific domain. -Too little focus on building up it's own ICT competences (the out- sourcing trend increases the risk of loosen company business strategic knowledge). -Low client understanding that ICT pays back (better early decisions in alternative solutions, higher quality and better documented end products. The implementation in the building process has been rather slow due to

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [8/35] - Enhanced clients requirements on the digital building process for increased value on results - Efficient and effective use of building models - Improved collaboration and competence utilization - Better documentation of building projects - Agreed solutions implemented in the sector’s every day life POTENTIALS

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [11/35] COMPETENCES NEEDS

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [12/35] COMPETENCES 1/2 There is at present and in the future building industry a great need for persons who can take active part in specification, design, implementation, and evaluation of tomorrows building process support systems. A broad view and insight into the complex building process together with a broad and in some key areas deep knowledge into existing and coming ICT tools are required in combination.

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [13/35] COMPETENCES 2/2 Builders must process some ICT competences to be able to formulate needs, requirements, and perform usability evaluation as well as to actively participate in the (creative) design of tomorrows building process ICT tools.

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [16/35] ICT and MODELS of REALITY ICT (Information and Communication Technology) may be defined as the technologies to support capture, storage, manipulation, communication and delivery of information on different application levels (from macro to micro scale) and in different contexts such as technological, organisational, and cultural. PRODUCT PROCESS

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [17/35] From the world to data models implemented in software systems. WORLD - SYSTEM - MODEL 1/4

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [18/35] ONTOLOGY - the branch of metaphysics dealing with the nature of being - An explicit formal specification of how to represent the objects, concepts, and other entities that are assumed to exist in some area of interest and the relationships that hold among them. DICTIONARY - a book that lists the words of a language in alphabetic order and gives their meaning, or that gives equivalent words in different language. CLASSIFICATION - The action or process of classifying something according to shared qualities or characteristics DEFINITIONS

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [19/35] The real world is modeled and accessed from a User Environment, UE, to facilitate experience capture, design, construction, use and re- design of buildings. World - system - model 2/4

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [20/35] World - system - model 3/4 The Virtual Building, VB, model is accessed through more or less detailed representations. The VB sub- models may be partly overlapping and also contain redundant information.

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [21/35] World - system - model 4/4 The complexity and flexibility in organization of the building process leads to large difficulties to build up highly formalized non-redundant models except for certain more standardized buildings and process organization The favorable degree of optimum formalization of the building process will be different dependent on which actors view is applied. There might be a negative correlation between effectiveness and flexibility for different representations.

We envision greater emphasis in the near future on formalisation of building process/product components especially on the meta data level. Formalised processes will more efficiently handle flexible user environments (UE) and project information containers accommodating partly redundant information.

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [27/35] In 2002 the Danish national 'Digital Construction - a development program for the whole construction sector' in Danish 'Det Digitale Byggeri', DDB, was started. See also As a result the public clients will 2007 state a set of ICT requirements that the enterprises of the construction sector must meet if they wish to tender for public construction projects. An Advisory Board advises the National Agency for Enterprise and Construction. EBST, on the overall direction and progress of the development project. EBST also forms secretariat for the project, DDB 1/2

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [28/35] Four projects were launched in 2003 within client requirements formulation (1) Digital tender (2) 3D models (3) Digital handover (Digital aflevering), DACaPo (4) Projectweb together with a project on (5) Foundation for Digital Construction (classification and standardization issues). In 2005 the final project was launched namely (6) Best Practice - or in Danish ‘Bedst i Byggeriet’ (7) Digital Projekplanlægning i renoveringssektorn (5 2005) DDB 2/2

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [33/35] HOW CAN I FOLLOW/INTERACT WITH THE WORK? The DDB program will end in A lot of what is presented at this stage may (and will) be revised both client requirements and classification schemes. You are encouraged to follow (both push and pull) the discussions and progress on the Learning Net. geri.dk/forum/0/3

Livslang læring AAU Per Christiansson IT in Civil Engineering  Aalborg University [34/35] CONCLUSIONS The Danish DDB program is an important initiative for developing the ICT support in construction. The public clients are a powerful driving force for change. The global perspective on business, organizational networks, and competences utilization, due to global communication support, will increase the speed of ICT related changes. There is a great need for broadening and deepen the competences in areas related to introduction of ICT in organizations and projects. (DDB contributes in that). DDB should be regarded as one important step in the future change process. P. Christiansson P. & Carlsen M. (2005) “Virtual Buildings from theory to practice”.
