Digital technologies such as building information modelling (BIM), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, material passports, and digital fabrication hold the potential to transform the building industry from a linear economy to a circular one. Our book offers practical examples of these technologies and insights from leading experts in digital transformation and circular economy.

Part 1 explores the role of data, covering BIM, digital twins, GIS, scanning technologies, AI, and material passports.

Part 2 delves into design and fabrication, exploring computational tools, additive manufacturing, robotic fabrication, and extended reality.

Part 3 examines business, management, and governance, addressing reverse logistics, blockchain, digital logbooks, circular business models, and regeneration.
