Architectural Engineering & Construction
Overview
Architectural Engineering & Construction focuses on the design and construction of buildings and other structures. It combines principles of engineering, architecture, and construction management to create functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing structures that meet the needs of their users.
DV Research team work closely with architects and other design professionals to ensure that the structural, electrical, mechanical, and environmental systems of a building are integrated and optimized
DV Research focuses on
- Designing and specifying the structural systems of buildings, such as foundations, walls, floors, and roofs.
- Specifying and designing building mechanical systems, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC).
- Designing and specifying electrical systems, including lighting, power, and communication systems.
- Coordinating the integration of different building systems and ensuring that they work together seamlessly.
- Conducting site visits and inspections to ensure that construction is proceeding according to plan.
- Providing technical assistance and guidance to architects, contractors, and other design professionals.

Design for the Future of Architectural Engineering & Construction
DV Research believes designing for the future of architecture involves considering a combination of sustainability, technology, and societal needs in order to create buildings that are functional, efficient, and responsive to the needs of the people who will use them.
Sustainability: As concerns about the environment and resource conservation continue to grow, it is important for architects to design buildings that are energy-efficient and have a minimal impact on the environment. This can involve using sustainable materials, incorporating renewable energy sources, and designing for natural ventilation and lighting.
Technology: The use of technology in architecture is constantly evolving, and it is important for architects to stay up to date on the latest developments. This can involve the use of virtual and augmented reality in design and construction, as well as the integration of smart technologies into buildings.
Societal needs: The needs and preferences of the people who will use a building are an important consideration in architectural design. This includes factors such as accessibility for people with disabilities, adaptability for changing needs, and the incorporation of community spaces.
Integrated Structural Engineering
Integrated structural engineering is a multi-disciplinary approach to the design and analysis of structures that combines the expertise of structural engineers with other professionals such as architects, civil engineers, and construction engineers. The goal of integrated structural engineering is to optimize the design and construction of structures by considering the interactions between different structural systems, materials, and construction methods.
Integrated structural engineering approaches include structural analysis, steel & concrete design, timber, and masonry, as well as more specialized systems such as cable-stayed bridges or tensile structures.
DV Research uses a variety of tools and techniques to understand the strength, stability, and deformations of structures. These tools include mathematical modeling, computer simulations, and physical testing. The goal is to ensure that the structure is safe, reliable, and efficient, and meets the requirements of the design. It is an important aspect of the design process, as it helps to identify potential problems and design solutions to address them.
Aerodynamic Insights
Aerodynamics is the study of how air flows around and over objects, and how this affects their movement. In the field of architecture and construction, aerodynamics can be an important consideration in the design and validation of buildings and other structures.
There are several factors that can impact the aerodynamics of a building or structure, including its shape, size, and surface features. For example, a building with a sleek, streamlined shape may be more aerodynamically efficient than one with a more blocky or irregular shape. Similarly, a building with smooth, curved surfaces may be more aerodynamically efficient than one with sharp angles or rough textures.
To optimize the aerodynamics of a building or structure, DV Research uses a variety of tools and techniques, including computer simulations and wind tunnel testing. These methods help to identify areas of the design that may be prone to airflow issues and allow to make adjustments to improve the aerodynamics of the final design.
Aerodynamics is a critical factor in the design and validation of buildings and other structures, and careful consideration of these factors helps to ensure that they are both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.
