University of Basrah Faculty Member Publishes Book on Artificial Intelligence in Architecture and Engineering
A new book by Dr. Amjad Zaki Khalil, a faculty member at the College of Engineering, University of Basrah, has been published by the international publishing house CRC Press, part of the Taylor & Francis Group. Entitled Construction 6.0: Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction, the book explores the evolving role of artificial intelligence in the built environment.
The book sheds light on the profound transformation taking place in the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction, presenting a forward-looking scientific perspective on the relationship between human intelligence, advanced technologies, and environmental sustainability.
It traces the evolution of construction concepts from Construction 4.0, which was driven by digitalisation and automation, through Construction 5.0, which placed renewed emphasis on the human element, to Construction 6.0. The latter introduces intelligent, adaptive built-environment systems that integrate artificial intelligence, digital twins, and robotics with architectural creativity and human needs.
