Driven by the integrated innovation of emerging technologies such as BIM, digital platform as the key support, standards and specifications as the scientific guidance and safety protection as the important guarantee, digital architecture covers the whole construction cycle, the whole industrial chain and all elements, and is deeply integrated with application scenarios such as intelligent construction and digital city. It is the key driving force to promote the transformation of production mode, business model and industrial form of the construction industry, It is also an important engine to realize the comprehensive transformation and upgrading of the traditional construction industry.
I. overall situation of digital architecture
(I) development trend
With the vigorous rise of the fourth industrial revolution, the new generation of information technology has expanded rapidly in the manufacturing industry and brought disruptive changes. The industrial transformation and upgrading caused by it is gradually affecting the traditional construction industry. As one of the pillar industries of China’s national economy, the construction industry has long had some pain points, such as backward production mode, low production efficiency, large resource consumption and insufficient inter professional coordination. Under the impact of the normalization of covid-19 epidemic prevention and control, the traditional model of the construction industry has been difficult to meet the needs of green development and high-quality development of the construction industry in the new era. Digital architecture ushers in a development opportunity and is becoming an important force driving the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry.
\u3000\u30001. Digital architecture has become the focus of policy layout
The transformation and development of the construction industry has entered the national policy planning system. In January 2022, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development issued the “14th five year plan” for the development of the construction industry, pointing out that “the construction industry has great potential and development space in the deep integration and development with advanced manufacturing industry and new generation information technology”, and it is necessary to “accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry”. In July 2020, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development and other 13 departments jointly issued the guiding opinions on promoting the coordinated development of intelligent construction and building industrialization, taking improving the level of building industrialization, digitization and intellectualization as the development goal, and making it clear that by 2035, “we will become a world power in intelligent construction”. The Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, the national development and Reform Commission and other ministries and commissions jointly promote the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and the construction industry, and support the implementation of digital technology innovation and application in the construction industry such as BIM. The Ministry of science and technology carried out key special projects such as “green building and building industrialization” to promote the rapid development of relevant core technologies, industries and applications. It can be seen from the national policies that the construction industry has entered a period of transformation and upgrading under the digital wave. As an important starting point of construction industrialization and digital development, digital architecture plays an important traction and driving role in the planning and layout of “build in China”. At the same time, it is also a key sector of the construction task of new smart city and new urbanization, which has become an inevitable trend of industrial upgrading in the future.
All localities actively explore new measures for the development of digital architecture. Driven by the call of the central government, local governments have issued construction industry development plans to accelerate the exploration and practice of transformation and upgrading of traditional construction industry. Jiangsu Province issued the “14th five year plan” for the development of construction industry in Jiangsu Province, which defined the transformation path of construction methods focusing on digital construction, green construction and lean construction, and continuously promoted the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. Fujian Province issued the 14th five year plan for the development of construction industry in Fujian Province, which proposed to “promote the R & D, integration and application of 5g, cloud computing, architecture Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) and other technologies in the whole process of design, construction, operation and maintenance”. A series of phased achievements have been made in the construction of Bim and CIM pilot cities such as Nanjing, Beijing Urban sub center, Guangzhou, Xiamen and xiong’an new area. Shanghai, Chongqing, Foshan and Shenzhen actively carry out intelligent construction pilot work, and Hunan, Shenzhen and Changzhou promote green construction pilot work.
\u3000\u30002. The development of digital construction industry is at the right time
The digital demand of the global construction industry is growing rapidly. With the emergence of industry 4.0 and the rapid development of digital architecture, the construction industry has entered the digital era. According to the data of allied market research, the scale of the global construction digital market in 2019 was about US $9.8 billion, which is expected to exceed US $29.1 billion by 2027, with an average annual compound growth rate of 18.2%. With the increasing demand and investment in infrastructure construction in emerging economies such as China, Vietnam and India, the market demand in the Asia Pacific region will lead the world. The continuous large-scale new construction projects will bring huge market prospects for digital architecture.
Bim and digital technology drive the innovation and development of digital architecture. First, BIM Technology is the core driver of digital architecture. BIM Technology is leading the informatization reform of the construction industry, using a unified three-dimensional model to run through the whole construction process, breaking the problem of information island, realizing multi-disciplinary collaborative design, integrated construction, standardized delivery and intelligent maintenance, and promoting the quality and efficiency of engineering projects. In recent years, domestic BIM software has developed rapidly and made a breakthrough in the BIM construction software market such as cost calculation and engineering drawing review. The market share of relevant brands in China has exceeded 90%, but the foundation is weak and the competitiveness is insufficient in the field of high-end BIM design software and three-dimensional graphics platform. Second, emerging digital technologies such as big data, cloud computing and industrial Internet have accelerated their penetration into the construction industry, giving birth to the development opportunity of digital architecture. For example, the industrial technology, experience, knowledge and practice of industrial Internet modeling, software and packaging make up for the missing links of building industrialization and digitization, and provide efficient support for large-scale, standardized and customized production of industrial products by construction enterprises.
China’s digital construction industry is in a fast starting stage. At present, a number of BIM software enterprises, traditional construction enterprises and industry platform enterprises have entered the digital construction field to seize the beach layout, and the industry has ushered in rapid growth The pkpm-bim platform developed by China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited(601668) Academy of Sciences Co., Ltd. integrates digital capabilities such as assembled smart factory management and green building operation and maintenance. Its scheme has been selected into the list of industrial Internet app application solutions of the Ministry of industry and information technology Glodon Company Limited(002410) aecore construction industry internet platform uses open BIM 3D graphics platform, BIM data micro service, AI micro service and other technologies to provide rapid application development services covering the whole process of design cloud, construction cloud, Yun Wei cloud and component cloud for the industry, enabling the digital transformation of the industry. The cesium praseodymium platform of Beijing Jianyi group takes the building model product system as the core and provides services such as intelligent construction and supply chain management. At present, it has enabled 200 + factories, 1000 + customers and partners. Tencent cloud has released the micro Ling Intelligent construction platform, which is a one-stop platform service for the co construction and sharing of data, models and applications required for engineering construction.
