Prototyping is interwoven with nearly all product, service, and systems development efforts.
A prototype is a pre-production representation of some aspect of a concept or final design …

The transformation of urban and building design into green development is conducive to
alleviating resource and environmental problems. Building design largely determines …

The elderly population is relatively vulnerable to air pollution and thermal stress due to their
low mobility and high prevalence of chronic disorders. Appropriate green infrastructure (GI) …

The deterioration of the urban environment is a problem which has captured the attention of
governmental departments and researchers, who are committed to improving the urban …

Rapid deduction based on environmental data has become a key factor influencing the early
stages of conceptual design decisions. Traditional wind tunnels and CFD computational …

Scientific visualization has been an essential process in the engineering field, enabling the

Within the context of nearly Zero-Energy Buildings, it is debated that the energy-centred
notion of design, proposed by regulatory frames, needs to be combined with a further focus …

Linearisation is often used as a first step in the analysis of nonlinear initial boundary value
problems. The linearisation procedure frequently results in a confusing contradiction where …

Although gradual, the changes in the weather patterns are also noticeable and impactful to
architectural design. If the local microclimate is taken into account early in the conceptual …

This work proposes an automated workflow using digital twinning for multi-domain
