“Heritage and time: mapping what is not there” (2017)
Book Chapter
Littlefield, D. (2017). “Heritage and time: mapping what is not there”. In J. Counsell, L. Mahdjoubi, & Y. Arayici (Eds.), Heritage Building Information Modelling (32-44). Oxford: Routledge

This paper examines ideas of authenticity and meaning, and considers how Heritage Building Information Modelling/Management may be used as a system which attempts to capture a site in its multiple conditions, enabling a comparison between its ideal a...

Automated construction of variable density navigable networks in a 3D indoor environment for emergency response (2016)
Journal Article
Boguslawski, P., Mahdjoubi, L., Zverovich, V., & Fadli, F. (2016). Automated construction of variable density navigable networks in a 3D indoor environment for emergency response. Automation in Construction, 72(2), 115-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.autcon.2016.08.041

© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Widespread human-induced or natural threats on buildings and their users have made preparedness and rapid response crucial issues for saving human lives. The ability to identify the paths of egress during an emergency is critical...

Two-graph building interior representation for emergency response applications (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Boguslawski, P., Mahdjoubi, L., Zverovich, V., & Fadli, F. (2016, July). Two-graph building interior representation for emergency response applications. Paper presented at XXIII ISPRS Congress 2016, Prague, Czech Republic

Nowadays, in a rapidly developing urban environment with bigger and higher public buildings, disasters causing emergency situations and casualties are unavoidable. Preparedness and quick response are crucial issues saving human lives. Available infor... Read More about Two-graph building interior representation for emergency response applications.

CUBER: Critical Urban Buildings Emergency Response (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Mahdjoubi, L., Zverovich, V., Boguslawski, P., & Fadli, F. (2016, June). CUBER: Critical Urban Buildings Emergency Response. Poster presented at The VC’s Staff Excellence Awards, UWE Bristol, UK

When human-induced disasters (i.e. terrorist attacks, social unrest, fires), as well as natural disasters (i.e. floods, earthquake, climate change) take place in complex buildings, a short delay in response to an incident or a major event may mean a...

BIM-GIS modelling in support of emergency response applications (2015)
Book Chapter
Boguslawski, P., Mahdjoubi, L., Zverovich, V., Fadli, F., & Barki, H. (2015). BIM-GIS modelling in support of emergency response applications. In L. Mahdjoubi, C. Brebbia, & R. Laing (Eds.), Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations (381-392). WIT Press. https://doi.org/10.2495/BIM150321

Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides a detailed 3D geometrical model with rich semantics which go beyond the standard Computer-Aided Design approach. In contrast, Geography Information Science (GIS) offers powerful spatial analytical tools.... Read More about BIM-GIS modelling in support of emergency response applications.

Integrating rapid 3D data collection techniques to support BIM design decision making (2014)
Journal Article
Laing, R., Leon, M., Mahdjoubi, L., & Scott, J. (2014). Integrating rapid 3D data collection techniques to support BIM design decision making. Procedia Environmental Sciences, 22, 120-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proenv.2014.11.012

In recent years, there have been rapid developments in techniques available to capture three dimensional data with regards to the existing built environment. Such technologies support the collection of both large scale landscape and streetscape data,... Read More about Integrating rapid 3D data collection techniques to support BIM design decision making.

Effect of grid resolution and terrain characteristics on data from DTM (2001)
Journal Article
Heesom, D., Heesom, D., & Mahdjoubi, L. (2001). Effect of grid resolution and terrain characteristics on data from DTM. Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 15(2), 137-143. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%290887-3801%282001%2915%3A2%28137%29

Previous work in digital terrain modeling (DTM) has shown that if regular gridded-data sets are used in the construction of the model, both the resolution of the gridded-data set and the characteristics of the terrain being modeled have an effect on...

Towards a framework for evaluation of computer visual simulations in environmental design (2001)
Journal Article
Wiltshire, J., & Mahdjoubi, L. (2001). Towards a framework for evaluation of computer visual simulations in environmental design. Design Studies, 22(2), 193-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0142-694X%2800%2900027-2

Research has been conducted into the assessment of visual simulation as a credible method for predicting future environments, especially in building and landscape evaluation. Despite this work a conceptual framework to guide research and practice in... Read More about Towards a framework for evaluation of computer visual simulations in environmental design.
