Summary: This study conducted a thematic review to analyze the ontological framework of Prevention through Design (PtD) practices in the construction industry from an architectural perspective. The findings identified five important factors, which are designer competency, planning and design decision making, technologies related to building safety, design features and workplace condition, and laws and building legislation. These findings are expected to enhance the understanding and implementation of the PtD concept and further develop an architectural safety design framework.

Summary: Integrated project delivery (IPD) was developed to address challenges in the construction industry such as increased complexity and lack of interoperability among stakeholders. Despite its benefits, IPD adoption in the US is slow, partly due to limited contractual understanding and implementation. A study identified key contractual issues in IPD processes and provided comparative analysis and guidelines for better understanding and practice of IPD.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of IPD principles on project performance in China through a questionnaire survey. Findings from the structural equation model analysis reveal that collaboration-related principles and catalysts directly affect project performance. Contractual principles have positive impacts on both behavioral principles and collaboration-related principles, while catalysts show positive impacts on behavioral principles.

Summary: This study introduces various variable parameters into a tripartite evolutionary game model based on evolutionary game theory, analyzing behavioral strategies and discussing the stability of system equilibrium. The research also examines the impact of these parameters on the evolutionary games, and presents a dynamic mechanism for collaborative behavior under limited rationality. The study concludes that the key to driving participants towards collaborative behavior lies in the owner's supervision.

Summary: The study identified the implementation potential of integrating LPDS with VDC and developed implementation steps to effectively utilize VDC functionalities within the Lean environment. By analyzing the potential benefits of VDC on Lean principles, a strong synergy between them was found, with a total of 351 positive hypothetical interactions. This novel approach will help the construction industry improve performance through the simultaneous application of LPDS and VDC.

Summary: This paper explores a novel method to clarify the applicability of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) principles in a region with specific cultural background and promotes their effective application. The study combines qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, including scientometric analysis, questionnaire survey, qualitative analysis, and a measurement model. By collecting 310 sample data from practitioners and researchers in China's construction industry, the measurement models of IPD applicability analysis are established. The results demonstrate that the measurement models align with the conceptual model, providing a scientific basis for effectively applying IPD principles and contributing to future research on the impact of IPD principles on project performance.

Summary: Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) with collaborative work as its core is increasingly supported by scholars and practitioners due to its positive impact on project construction and success. However, barriers such as contract, technology, and personnel behaviors hinder the application of IPD, negatively affecting the collaboration level of construction projects. This paper uses configuration analysis and a questionnaire survey to examine the impact of IPD principles' obstacles on construction project collaboration. The results highlight the significance of contractual and behavioral principles, the limited impact of catalysts for IPD, and the negative effect of unfamiliarity with IPD on its application.

Summary: In project research, value has been conceptualized either subjectively or objectively, but in practice, project actors encounter, express, and negotiate value in both subjective and objective ways. To understand project value from the perspective of project actors, we focus on valuation practices rather than value itself, revealing how different considerations are expressed and resolved through these practices.

Summary: This study aims to provide a design framework to help architects broaden their sustainability practices in the field of housing design. The research is divided into three stages, using comparative analysis to develop design models that can be traced in sustainable housing practices. The framework has been verified through Middle Eastern practices, allowing architects and developers to select appropriate design approaches and strategies in an integrative manner.

Summary: This paper analyzes the dimensions and directions of integration in integrated project delivery (IPD) literature and explores their extent in construction projects. It identifies integration mechanisms based on organizational, contractual, and operational characteristics of IPD projects, and frames them into seven clusters. The study demonstrates the integration directions in three contexts: traditional on-site construction projects, on-site construction projects delivered with IPD, and off-site construction projects delivered with IPD. The paper provides a comprehensive overview and a theoretical framework for researchers and practitioners to explore the concept of integration in IPD projects.

Summary: The human memory is a mental storehouse that contains events, facts, and dreams of someone's life or created by their mind. Architects manifest the Double Code Theory by incorporating their personal memories in architectural formations, which carry both visible and hidden meanings. By recalling their memories, architects derive inspiration from their own experiences and create buildings of historical, cultural, and civilizational value. This research explores the relationship between memory and contemporary architecture through the analysis of case studies, highlighting the importance of intellectual and physical effort in understanding the architect's intended message. The findings emphasize the influence of religious, political, and personal events on the design ideas derived from the architect's memory.

Summary: Improving energy efficiency of existing buildings is crucial worldwide, but it can inadvertently lead to dampness and mold growth. This study focuses on the impact of energy efficiency measures on the hygrothermal behavior of buildings, highlighting the importance of indoor and outdoor conditions, maintenance, and ventilation. Building envelope post-retrofit may experience higher moisture levels and structural degradation due to increased humidity. However, there is evidence that retrofits can moderately improve thermal comfort.

Summary: This study examines the challenges introduced by the adoption of IoT in large university campuses and the impact on the maintenance and management of systems and data collection. The study identifies three main time orientations related to facilities management, IT, and capital projects and explores how these orientations lead to tensions in the selection, integration, and operation of IoT devices and systems. The paper presents a paradox and suggests ways to manage it by employing temporal boundary spanners.

Summary: This paper examines the collaboration efficiency of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) teams using BIM and VR in remote asynchronous and synchronous communication. The findings suggest that VR with its immersive experience and markup tool supports team communication better than BIM. However, efficient team collaboration in VR requires proper guidance in the 360-degree environment.
