With the increasing need for sustainable construction materials, this book investigates the potential of bamboo as a viable alternative to steel in future construction practices. Bamboo's rapid growth, renewability, and mechanical properties make it an appealing option for reducing environmental impacts. This book assesses the feasibility of bamboo's integration into construction by examining its structural characteristics, durability, and overall environmental benefits. The book employs experimental analysis, including tensile strength and durability tests, to evaluate bamboo's structural performance in comparison to steel. Environmental assessments are conducted to quantify the ecological advantages of bamboo, such as carbon sequestration and reduced energy consumption. The findings illuminate bamboo's potential to revolutionize the construction industry as a sustainable steel alternative. Harshil Panchal is an undergraduate student of Architecture, and this book is compilation of his dissertation work guided by AR Aditya Anand.

A new era of efficiency and innovation in architectural design has been brought about by the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The use of various possible design stages of the development of an architectural design is examined in this research. Current applications of artificial intelligence in architecture, structure design, design creation, 3-D generation, visualization, surveying, construction, scheduling, and estimation can boosted by AI. These technologies are revolutionizing the way architects approach their work and offer a peek into the fascinating developments in the profession that are being made possible by the application of AI technology. The AEC industry has a bright future ahead of it, according to observations on the state and potential of AI in architecture design. Even though AI is still in its early childhood, it already shows a lot of promise for increasing productivity and resolving challenging issues. But in an AI-driven future, data accuracy will become vital and the market leader in AI is still absent.

This book is his dissertation project work of Siddharth Sharma, Guided by AR Aditya Anand. The book contains information and studies on achieving sustainability and energy efficiency in retrofitting projects and how the same can be supported using building information modeling. The book includes case studies and surveys in support of the hypothesis and provides a holistic model of achieving its aim by using building information modeling tools.
