Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this edited book volume is to present new concepts, and applications of Digital Twin and relevant tools in the built environment context. The book identifies key organisational factors that influence the adoption of technology within the architectural service industry, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the shift towards digital methodologies. The book introduces the Digital Twin Readiness Level framework, a modified metric system with ten levels of risk‐based maturity and an empirical development of a Digital Twin Adoption Model. Furthermore, the text ventures into immersive virtual environments and their applications, showcasing innovative practices that enhance learning and operational efficiency. Additionally, the book examines the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), revealing new workflows for creating 3D models of cities. A focus on Australia’s government‐funded infrastructure projects offers insights into the values and acceptance criteria for these technologies, providing a comprehensive overview of their practical implications and future potential. This book is essential reading for practitioners, engineers, and managers involved in any phase of the built environment from design to operation and other architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) stakeholders who are a part of digital transformations, as well as researchers, educators, and students interested in the field.
