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.

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.
