Abstract

The architecture, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) industry has embraced the combination of building information modelling (BIM) and computational algorithms to advance digital transformations. Computational BIM has enabled the development and testing of various BIM-based solutions for the building industry. This study conducted a systematic review of the application of computational BIM through visual programming (VP) in building research. The study employed a hybrid approach of bibliometrics and content analyses using seventy-nine publications filtered from Scopus and Web of Science databases. The bibliometric analysis identified publication frequency trends, journal distributions, country distributions, eminent authors, co-authorship networks, and keyword co-occurrence networks. The content analysis identified six key research themes and four major methodological roles of computational BIM in building research. A research framework is proposed to summarize and articulate the state of the art of computational BIM application in building research, research gaps, and future research directions.

从BIM到计算BIM：可视化编程在建筑研究中的应用系统综述

建筑、工程、施工和运营（AECO）行业已经接受了建筑信息模型（BIM）和计算算法的结合，以推进数字化转型。计算BIM使建筑行业能够开发和测试各种基于BIM的解决方案。本研究通过可视化编程（VP）对计算型BIM在建筑研究中的应用进行了系统回顾。这项研究采用了文献计量学和内容分析的混合方法，使用了从Scopus和Web of Science数据库中筛选出来的79篇出版物。文献计量分析确定了出版频率趋势、期刊分布、国家分布、知名作者、合作作者网络和关键词共现网络。内容分析确定了计算BIM在建筑研究中的六个关键研究主题和四个主要方法角色。提出了一个研究框架，以总结和阐明计算BIM在建筑研究中的应用现状、研究差距和未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： in Shams Engineering Journal is an international journal devoted to publication of peer reviewed original high-quality research papers and review papers in both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology. Areas of both theoretical and fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques and those which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavor, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal are welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous scientific research results which have generic significance. Ain Shams Engineering Journal focuses upon aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, architectural and urban planning engineering. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with engineering are especially welcome like nanotechnology, material sciences, and computational methods as well as applied basic sciences: engineering mathematics, physics and chemistry.
