Improving the overall quality of buildings is the main motivation behind the development of computer aided technologies in the ArchitectureEngineering- Construction (AEC) industry. A seamless design and evaluation environment has been envisioned by researchers since the early days of computational design but the integrated design system has been elusive for the last 30 years. With the recent focus on environmental sustainability, topics in building performance are gaining importance at many educational institutions. However, the lack of a proper computational environment for integrated design is a major hurdle for both students and professionals. This paper will summarize the history of integrated design research and thus hopes to help educators plan for multidisciplinary coursework.

An investigation of legal aspects of BIM in construction contracts
Kaya, Fatih; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2019-04-17)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been adopted worldwide in recent years as a novel way of working that enables efficiency in the construction industry. Lately, numerous countries made it compulsory to utilize BIM in public construction projects. Similarly, BIM became a contractual requirement in some public infrastructure and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects in Turkey. However, in order to benefit from the advantages of BIM, some legal concerns such as intellectual property, liability, legal val...
A Case Study of Using Innovation Catcher as an Innovation Performance Assessment Framework for Housing Projects
Bilgin, Pınar; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2020-11-14)
The crucial role of innovation in improving or even maintaining the strategic position and competitive advantage of construction companies in a highly competitive industry is widely acknowledged. In this sense, construction companies are spending a substantial amount of money and time on innovation activities. However, an in-depth literature review showed that available innovation assessment frameworks are not capable of revealing the outputs of these investments and capturing the actual innovation performa...
