Arto Kiviniemi, Ph.D. (Professor of Digital Architectural Design, School of Built Environment, University of Salford, U.K.)
Design-Construction Integration Program Alumni (2005)
Arto Kiviniemi has developed Integrated Building Information Modeling (BIM) both in Finland and internationally since 1996. In 1996-2002 Arto worked at VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) as a Chief Research Scientist leading the VERA program, which established BIM’s position in Finland. After his Ph.D. in Stanford 2005, Arto was nominated as the Research Professor for ICT in Built Environment at VTT. In 2008 he returned into the industry as the Vice President of Innovation and Development at Olof Granlund, the leading Building Services Engineering company in Finland, where he was responsible for the R&D projects in the company. In 2010 he moved to his current position, Professor of Digital Architectural Design, in the School of Built Environment at the University of Salford in the U.K.
Internationally, Arto’s main activities have been related to the International Alliance for Interoperability, now known as buildingSMART International. Arto has acted as the Chairman of the International Council and Executive Committee 1998-2000, Deputy Chairman 2000-2002, Chairman of the International Technical Management Committee 2005-2007. Currently, he is a member of the Technical Advisory Group and the buildingSMART Korea Advisory Committee. He is also a member of FIATECH’s Academic and BIM Committees and ASHRAE’s BIM Committee, as well as the representative of CEBE (Centre for Education in the Built Environment) in the CIC (Construction Industry Council) BIM Forum. Arto has been the Chairman of Salford Centre for Research and Innovation 2002-2009, a member of Industry Advisory Board and Technical Advisory Committee of CIFE at Stanford University 1999-2005, a member of the Scientific Committee of the ‘BuildingEnvelopes.org’ project at Harvard University 2001-2004, and a member of scientific or organizing committees in over 20 international conferences since 2000. He has presented over 70 keynotes and invited lectures and several other papers in international seminars and conferences around the world since 1996. In March 2009, Arto received FIATECH CETI Outstanding Researcher 2008 Award for his international merits in developing integrated BIM.
Guillermo Salazar, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Education: Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, 1983, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, M. Eng. in Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto 1977, BSCE, Civil Engineering, 1971, Universidad LaSalle,
Research and Academic Interests: development of formal methods of analysis, computer-based methodologies, cooperative agreements to evaluate the impact of process integration on the cost of civil engineering projects. Building Information Modeling (BIM), Multi-attribute Decision Analysis, Computer Simulation, Knowledge-Based Expert Systems, Neural Networks, CAD Systems, Probabilistic Analysis, Mathematical Programming, and Data Management Systems.
Over the last ten years, this work has been focused primarily on the academic and professional aspects of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This work has produced several computer-based tools. It has also contributed to improving the understanding of how cooperative behaviors and the effective use of information technology and intelligent systems promote efficient project integration. This activity has also lead to the creation of graduate courses, innovative undergraduate curricula integration, and to encourage the integration of design and construction emphasizing teamwork, life-cycle cost-benefit analysis, and effective use of information technology within the curricula.
Professional and consulting activity: spans for more than 25 years at national and international levels. It includes professional practice in building and steel construction, statistical and simulation studies in tunneling and regional planning, information systems design as well as the development of computer models for diverse aspects of project management and Design-Construction.
