ITCON Issue on Using Gaming Technologies in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
The Journal of Information Technology in Construction (ITcon)published a special issue on gaming meets AEC. Almost 600 pages with 32 articles on the building industry and virtual reality, augmented reality, training, education, collaborative design, etc.
Having just returned from a week at the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, I am enthused to see academic recognition of the convergence of a very innovative industry (gaming) with one of the largest, but very change-resistant, trillion dollar industries - building.

How the building industry really works...or doesn't
"In contrast, the AECO industry seams to employ the “convince-build-pray” modus operandi. The designers convince the client by demonstrating a few selected performance aspects (usually cost and image) he/she can understand – but the designers cannot guarantee – that the building will work to the
client’s expectations; the builders build the building, and then everyone awaits to see how the building will work once it is occupied and in use. They hope for the best, but fear the worst."
Quote from Vladimir Bazjanac,of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, and head of the technical advisory group for buildingSMART from this article.
