Integrating Resilience, Green Building and BIM in Architecture theory and practice

Abstract

The paper contents qualitative research that covers the scope of Resilience, Green Building, and BIM (Building Information Modeling) concepts implementation. The objective of the paper is to facilitate the discussion on the question how these concepts can be integrated to apply in architecture theory and practice by making science-based building decisions that will improve the overall performance of construction projects. Research is done in global and regional context focused in the Republic of Kosovo. The specific objective of this paper is to facilitate socially innovative actions and initiatives as a primary source for integration of resilience, green building and BIM technology in the daily life. Participating and observing group discussions with architects, spatial planners, and environmental professionals helped to uncover trends in theory and practice, and dive deeper into the problem. State of art literature review on this topic and personal interviews in daily work helped to analyze and compare the local, regional and international implementation of concepts. Results of the research paper will help to understand of the global and regional architects and planning professionals in order for there to be clear the need for promoting the notion of BIM, resilience and green building and integrating them in theory and practice. In conclusions will be described conditions for integrating new concepts interconnected in new inclusive strategies. Integration will narrow the gap between the EU and Balkan countries. In recommendations will be proposed framework that can potentially enhance community decisions by creating an opportunity to achieve synergy among different interconnected multispectral stakeholders in the building sector.
