Team BE-Napier

Team Built-Environment at Edinburgh Napier University This is a Student Project Group from the Department of Built Environment at School of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment of Edinburgh Napier University. The initial projects the group involved are: 1) the Design-to-Built project of a 12m span bamboo-timber composite gridshell in China funded by British Council (https://www.napier.ac.uk/research-and-innovation/research-search/projects/integration-and-re-engineering-of-architectural-heritage-in-guangxi-inner-mongolia) and Turing Scheme (https://www.turing-scheme.org.uk/); 2) the second Design-to-Built project for another real size bamboo-timber composite gridshell structure in Edinburgh, funded by Construction Industry Council of Hong Kong (https://www.napier.ac.uk/research-and-innovation/research-search/projects/augmented-virtual-reality-enhanced-building-information-modelling-technology-for_). This group will provide the support to this project with the preivouse experience obtained. It is our intention to continue developing new group projects to provide our students classroom-to-site, theory to practical, computer to real building projects that integrate structural, foundation, architecture, construction, building information modelling, and VR-aided design and construction technologies together.
