Learn how architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms
work to improve sustainability objectives and advance new ideas
about creating more livable cities, workplaces, and campuses as
they create greater operational efficiency. Location intelligence
is changing how land development and large infrastructure projects
take shape. From new residential construction to planning a modern
urban experience to building a high-speed rail system, a geographic
approach helps pave the way to better, more sustainable designs. In
Designing Our Future: GIS for Architecture, Engineering &
Construction, see how the AEC industry is implementing geographic
information systems (GIS) to improve workflows, bring context to
large undertakings, and increase collaboration between governments,
contractors, partners, and the public. With GIS, architects,
engineers, and construction professionals are discovering new
efficiencies, gaining deeper insights about complex projects, and
transforming the way they plan, design, build, and operate in the
built and natural environments. In this collection of case studies
and "how to" guidance, gain an overview of how GIS was used to:
Reduce the carbon footprint and mitigate future climate-related
damage from a cross-country, high-speed rail project in the US
Document all above and below ground assets such as utility
services, electric, gas, surface water and sewer drainage for a
local transportation agency Plan maintenance for and respond to
hazards from aging structures and vulnerable hillsides using drones
in Japan Designing Our Future: GIS for Architecture, Engineering
& Construction also includes a "next steps" section that
provides ideas, strategies, tools, and actions to help jump-start
your own use of GIS. A collection of online resources, including
additional stories, videos, new ideas and concepts, and
downloadable tools and content, complements this book. -- Keith
