Thesis Title

Extending BIM (Building Information Modelling) Object Model for Road Infrastructure Operation and Maintenance

Supervisors

• Professor Robin Michael Drogemuller  (Principal Supervisor)
• Dr Sara Omrani  (Associate Supervisor)
• Dr Melissa Teo  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis addresses critical information exchange challenges in road infrastructure projects in Australia and New Zealand, highlighting inefficiencies due to outdated systems and approaches. By extending Building Information Modelling (BIM) to the data handover stage, the study significantly enhances asset management practices. This research develops a harmonised road asset object model based on existing standards, serving as the foundation for CONie (Construction to Operation for Network information exchange)—a novel data exchange specification tailored for linear infrastructure asset management.

Thesis Title

Augmented Fabrication: An Australian Industry 4.0 Augmented Reality (AR) Framework

Supervisors

• Professor Glenda Amayo Caldwell  (Principal Supervisor)
• Associate Professor Muge Fialho Leandro Alves Teixeira  (Associate Supervisor)
• Professor Markus Rittenbruch  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

This research project establishes a practice-informed augmented reality (AR) framework designed to enhance Australian SMEs' custom fabrication workflows. Underpinned by a Research-through-Design methodology, the project develops novel situated augmented fabrication scenarios (SAFS) methods in collaboration with Queensland-based custom fabrication experts and manufacturing SMEs. Through thematic and reflective analysis of interviews and co-design workshops, the study holistically integrates insights to produce an AR framework that supports the Australian manufacturing sector's adoption and implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies and contributes to custom fabrication SMEs' readiness for a more human-centric Industry 5.0 by promoting workforce transformation and sector resilience.

Thesis Title

An Integrated Building Information Modelling, Integrated Project Delivery and Lean Construction Maturity Model

Supervisors

• Professor Robin Michael Drogemuller  (Principal Supervisor)
• Dr Sara Omrani  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

Construction projects are inherently complex and uncertain, involving diverse teams and environments. Innovative methods like Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Building Information Modelling (BIM), and Lean Construction (LC) enhance collaboration and project integrity. This thesis introduces a BIM-IPD-LC Maturity Model (BIL MM) to guide construction organisations in improving their integration and implementation. Using a mixed methodology, including literature reviews, Delphi studies, expert reviews, interviews, surveys, and case studies, the BIL MM assesses organisational maturity across five levels. It helps stakeholders evaluate their current maturity and plan for future improvements, ensuring effective collaboration and project success.

Thesis Title

A Critical Understanding of 'Natural Place' as a Cultural Construct Through a Collaborative Moving Image Practice

Supervisors

• Dr Leah King Smith  (Associate Supervisor)
• Associate Professor Janice Lynn Rieger  (External Supervisor)
• Dr Shannon Danielle Satherley  (Principal Supervisor)

Citation

This creative practice-led research, in a rural Australian site, critically examines the idea that the so-called objective entity “nature”, which Western artistic representational practice explores through a subjective lens, is itself an unstable, subjective, and culturally naturalised concept. The research draws on contemporary theories of place and culture and uses embodied traversing interview methods, online interviews, and collaborative moving image and installation practices to examine this ‘subjective mirroring’ and representation of the situated/intercultural self. Themes of movement (becoming), memory, and trauma emerge in 21 short films and a moving image installation, expanding current creative practice research methodologies and aesthetic practice.
