Abstract

Research is essential for developing new ideas, creating resilient structures that have extended and predicted life cycles. Through creative use of materials, construction techniques, and building performance, this research can address broad issues related to the life of structures starting with urban planning and ending with health monitoring. Awareness is key to solving complex issues and the collaboration between academic study, research, and practice is critical.

This chapter will focus on how research has manifested new approaches to design. Examples include the use of mechanized approaches to design, optimization theory, and machine learning. Ideas range from components in buildings to entire cities, and the work includes projects from various places around the world.
