ABSTRACT
DIVERCITY has developed virtual workspaces that improve communication and collaboration. DIVERCITY has focused on three construction processes, i.e. client briefing; design reviews; and site operations and constructability as well as communication and integration framework. DIVERCITY aims to supply a shared virtual construction design and briefing environment that enables the construction industry to better undertake the client briefing and design review phases of a project. The lighting simulation module of DIVERCITY provides realistic simulation of light transfers. The lighting application will enable the user to look at different ways of lighting the spaces by clicking and dragging objects into spaces and placing them at different locations within the space. The DIVERCITY construction workspace aims at providing functionality to allow for rehearsing, evaluation, and optimisation of the construction planning stage. The DIVERCITY project has succeeded in gathering science and industry in a collaborative, exploitative and enriching workspace.
