However, the technique of performing the improvement in accuracy of convergent photographing and automatic acquisition of corresponding points was not established. Therefore, in this research, we try to obtain a semi-automation of corresponding points acquisition from initial corresponding points and the improvement in accuracy of convergent photographing. Moreover, we applied the research to the used house of Japanese real estate, and the applicable field was selected as the high needs of the residence of 3D model.

Based on empirical data collected from 74 US construction firms, the analyses provide evidence that IT has a positive impact on overall firm performance, schedule performance, and cost performance. Firm performance is a composite score of several metrics of performance: schedule performance, cost performance, customer satisfaction, safety performance, and profit. No relationship is found between IT utilization and customer satisfaction, safety, or profit, although this may be due to limitations of the study given strong correlations between IT utilization and cost and schedule performnance. The empirical evidence of positive association between performance and IT use provided by this research is significant to both construction practice and research literature. This evidence should encourage firms to adopt and invest in IT tools.}, subject = {Architektur}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SariyildizSchwenck1997, author = {Sariyildiz, Sevil and Schwenck, M.}, title = {An Integrated Software Environment for the Architectural Design Process}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.444}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-4447}, year = {1997}, abstract = {The general motivation of this research is to develop software to support the handling of the increased complexity of architectural design. In this paper we describe a system providing general support during the whole process. Instead of only developing design tools we are also addressing the problem of the operating environment of these tools. We conclude that design tools have to be integrated in an open, modular, distributed, user friendly and efficient environment. Two major fields have to be addressed - the development of design tools and the realisation of an integrated system as their operation environment. We will briefly focus on the latter by discussing known technologies in the field of information technology and other design disciplines that can be used to realise such an environment. Regarding the first subject we have to state the need of a detailed tool specification. As a solution we suggest a strategy where the tool functions are specified on the basis of a transformation, where a hierarchical process model is mapped into specifications of different design tools realising appropriate support for all sub-processes of architectural design. Using this strategy the main steps to develop such a support system are: implementation of a framework as basis for the integrated design system decision whether the tool specification are already implemented in available tools in this case these tools can be integrated using known methods for tool coupling otherwise new design tools have to be developed according to the framework}, subject = {Architektur}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ContensinMaltret1997, author = {Contensin, M. and Maltret, J.-L.}, title = {Computer Aided Lighting for architects and designers}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.448}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-4488}, year = {1997}, abstract = {Designing lightings in a 3D-scene is a general complex task for building conception as it is submitted to many constraints such as aesthetics or ergonomics. This is often achieved by experimental trials until reaching an acceptable result. Several rendering softwares (such as Radiance) allow an accurate computation of lighting for each point in a scene, but this is a long process and any modification requires the whole scene to be rendered again to get the result. The first guess is empirical, provided by experience of the operator and rarely submitted to scientific considerations. Our aim is to provide a tool for helping designers to achieve this work in the scope of global illumination. We consider the problem when some data are asked for : on one hand the mean lighting in some zones (for example on a desktop) and on the other hand some qualitative information about location of sources (spotlights on the ceiling, halogens on north wall,...). The system we are conceiving computes the number of light sources, their position and intensities, in order to obtain the lighting effects defined by the user. The algorithms that we use bind together radiosity computations with resolution of a system of constraints.}, subject = {Architektur}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TsouLamWong2004, author = {Tsou, Jin-Yeu and Lam, Selina and Wong, Wing Kin Gary}, title = {Design of Rapidly Assembled Isolation Patient Ward - IT-Supported Collaborative Design Process between Architects and Medical Officers}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.174}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1748}, year = {2004}, abstract = {An important feature of the 2003 SARS outbreak in Canada, Singapore, and Hong Kong was that many health care workers (HCWs) developed SARS after caring for patients with SARS. This has been ascribed to inadequate or ineffective patient isolation. However, it is difficult for dense cities to provide sufficient isolation facilities within a short period of time. This has raised concerns from the public for new strategies in the planning and design of isolation facilities. Considering that SARS or other infectious diseases could seriously damage our society's development, isolation facilities that could be rapidly and economically constructed with appropriate environmental controls are essential. For this reason, the design team of the Department of Architecture collaborated with a special task force from the Faculty of Medicine, who are the frontline medical officers treating the SARS patients, to design Rapidly Assembled Isolation Patient Wards. Both architecture and medicine are well established disciplines, but they have little in common in terms of the mode of knowledge construction and practice. This induced much intellectual exploration and research interest in conducting this study. The process has provided an important reference for cross disciplinary studies between the architectural and medical domains.}, subject = {Architektur}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HauschildHuebler1997, author = {Hauschild, Thomas and H{\"u}bler, Reinhard}, title = {Entwicklung eines verteilbaren und kooperativ nutzbaren objektorientierten CAAD-Produktmodellierkerns}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.447}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-4475}, year = {1997}, abstract = {Der Fokus des Projektes liegt auf einer besseren Unterst{\"u}tzung der kooperativen Aspekte im Bauwerksentwurf und der Anwendung von ComponentWare-Techniken in der Architektur des Entwurfssystems.
