Emerging ICT Trends in Engineering Structures and Architectural Economics: The Role of Human-Computer Interaction in Shaping Future Design and Efficiency

This study looks into the new trends in information and communication technology (ICT) for engineering structures, focussing on how these trends interact with architectural economics and how important human-computer interaction (HCI) is to the efficiency and design of the future. The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in structural engineering and architectural design has become essential for optimising both functionality and aesthetics due to the rapid growth of digital technologies. The study investigates how modern computational approaches, virtual reality (VR), and building information modelling (BIM) tools improve stakeholder collaboration and design precision. Furthermore, a study of HCI principles shows how important they are for enhancing utility and user experience, as well as for making sure that technical solutions successfully satisfy the demands of clients, engineers, and architects. HCI enhances efficiency in decision-making and productivity by emphasising usability in design tools and platforms. The results show that creative frameworks that are resilient, durable, and economically feasible can be created by strategically utilising ICT in conjunction with HCI. The goal of this research is to offer a thorough framework for comprehending how different fields intersect, ultimately opening the door to a more effective and progressive environment for engineering and architecture that places a higher priority on user-centred design.
