Built Environment Epistemologies: Crafting Sustainable Knowledge in the GenAI Era
The SURE-Built 2026 Global Conference on Sustainable Built Environment Research examines the relationship between traditional knowledge systems, emerging technologies and sustainable development in the…
Facilitating Inclusivity in Multi-, Inter-, and Transdisciplinary Sustainable Built Environment Research in Emerging Economies
The 1st Global Forum for Sustainable Built Environment Research was a global academic platform dedicated to advancing sustainable development within the built environment, delivered…
Rapid urbanization in developing countries has increased the complexity and uncertainty of urban planning, exposing limitations in traditional approaches to manage informal settlements, infrastructure deficits, housing pressure, environmental risks, and climate. The review examined…
Sciences, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa Opeakinradewo@gmail.com Digitalisation has been introduced into construction processes to improve the management and exchange of project information. Blockchain technology can provide a secure and decentralised…
Rapid urbanization and increasing climate variability are intensifying vulnerabilities in urban transport systems across African cities, threatening mobility continuity and infrastructure reliability. Conventional GIS-based overlay approaches support hazard visualization but remain limited in capturing…
The advancement of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping architectural education by altering how students visualize, reason, and construct design knowledge. While Building Information Modelling (BIM) supports structured, data-driven learning that foregrounds technical rigor,…
Ogun, Nigeria egidario.aduwo@covenantuniversity.edu.ng; chibuikem.obiohapgs@stu.cu.edu.ng The increasing integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into architectural design represents a shift in epistemology which has significantly altered how sustainable knowledge is being created and validated. This paper…
Heritage buildings faced significant challenges in improving environmental performance due to strict conservation regulations that limit physical interventions. As a result, adaptation decisions are often based on qualitative assumptions rather than performance-driven evidence. This…
This study systematically investigates how Extended Reality (XR) technologies support cultural heritage projects, yet their integration with structured project management frameworks remains poorly understood. Using a PMBOK Sixth Edition-based meta-classification framework covering process groups…
The Nigerian construction industry routinely suffers budget overruns of 20-50%, driven by supply chain opacity, endemic corruption, and institutional resistance to digital tools. This study empirically evaluates whether blockchain technology (BT) offers a credible…
Technology, Ghana *juanita.gasu@outlook.com Generative AI (GenAI) offers transformative potential for project management within the built environment, enabling automation of routine tasks, predictive analytics, and enhanced decision-making. In investigating factors influencing GenAI adoption in Ghana’s…
Studies indicate that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve cost estimation, reduce waste, predict project delay, streamline tendering processes, and analyse large datasets to provide data-driven insights. While AI offers promising solutions,…
