The covered topics include, but are not limited to: architectural design, architectural technology (including new technologies and energy saving technologies), architectural practice, urban planning, impacts of architecture on the environment, architectural landscape design, philosophy of architecture, and civil engineering.</p> <p align="justify">&nbsp;</p> en-US info@bbwpublisher.com (Luna Lu) info@bbwpublisher.com (Michelle) Tue, 19 Aug 2025 15:12:20 +0800 OJS 3.1.2.0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JARD/article/view/11686 <p>Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology can solve construction issues from multiple perspectives, including technical and managerial. While existing research has primarily focused on BIM’s benefits and framework development, few studies discussed whether BIM can be successfully applied in developing countries. This paper examines the current status and key obstacles hindering BIM adoption in developing countries, analyzing their underlying causes. Notably, the study reveals that high BIM awareness does not directly lead to high BIM usage. The findings aim to provide theoretical support for enhancing the BIM environment and increasing implementation feasibility in developing countries. Additionally, the research identifies critical barriers for governments to address in promoting BIM adoption, offering a foundation for policy formulation.</p> Shuxing Kang, Jia Wu Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JARD/article/view/11686 Tue, 19 Aug 2025 15:16:34 +0800
