Last Friday, we had an inspiring keynote talk of Prof. Corentin Fivet on urban-mined structural design for reuse of load bearing concrete elements at @ruhr-uni-bochum.de. The keynote was part of the CRC1683 “Forum Nachhaltigkeit”.

Presented our paper on assessment of concrete elements for #reuse based on #3DGS and #Laserscanning today at #SASBE2025 in Lille, France. Find a preprint of our paper here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

This winter term, I’m teaching the lecture "Automation in Design and Construction" for the second year — now with an even stronger focus on interdisciplinary projects involving students from civil engineering, computational engineering, and computer science.

This week, we had one of the leading researchers in #computing in #civil #engineering at our group and the CRC1683: Prof. Jack C. P. Cheng. Its been a week full of interaction and discussions.

In July, we have Prof. Jack C. P. Cheng as a guest lecturer for our Collaborative Research Center 1639. He will give a lecture/workshop on "Smart Construction and Digital City Leveraging Digital Twin, AI, and Robotics/Drones". Further information: www.sfb1683.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/mru/aktuelle...

And there is a second journal publication published in @elsevierconnect.bsky.social Advanced Engineering Informatics: „ #Semantic #Digital #Twins in #Construction: Developing a modular System Reference Architecture based on Information Containers“. Open access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New publication in @springernature.com‘s AI in Civil Engineering journal dealing with #neuro-symbolic #AI for #infrastructure #condition data: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A new publication from our group, "Bridging the Gap: Integrating Building Information Models into Early-Lifecycle Digital Twins Using Semantic Information Containers," was presented last week at #i3ce2025 in New Orleans, US. Details here on Researchgate:

Kick-Off #CollaborativeResearchCenter SFB1683: Interaction Methods for the Modular Reuse of Existing Load-Bearing Structures: Discussing the research program for the next 3.5 years on the reuse of structural concrete. @iib-rub.bsky.social @ruhr-uni-bochum.de #circularity #sustainability #concrete

Our article, "OntoBPR: An ontology-based framework for performing building permit reviews using standardized information containers," is now published in Adv. Eng. Inf. (Elsevier). We present a process-integrated, ontology-driven approach to automating building permit reviews within BIM ecosystems.
