This book reflects and expands on the current trend in the building industry to understand; simulate and ultimately design buildings by taking into consideration the interlinked elements and forces that act on them. This approach overcomes the traditional; exclusive focus on building tasks; while posing new challenges in all areas of the industry from material and structural to the urban scale. Contributions from invited experts; papers and case studies provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the field; as well as perspectives from related disciplines; such as computer science.The chapter authors were invited speakers at the 5th Symposium "Modelling Behaviour"; which took place at the CITA in Copenhagen in September 2015.
