A Review of Chinese Digital Architecture Research Based on CiteSpace

Abstract

Driven by the rapid development of China's digital economy and society, the construction industry, as the pillar of China's economy, will also face a comprehensive digital transformation, and the digital technology of the construction industry represented by BIM technology will be fully popularized. This paper uses CiteSpace6. 1. R6 software to study 406 research articles in CNKI database from 2002 to 2022. By drawing the knowledge map and combining qualitative analysis with quantitative research, this paper summarizes and analyzes the current research results related to digital architecture in China, providing certain research directions and research ideas for the researchers' follow-up research. China's digital architecture research has gone through three periods of initial exploration, rapid growth and explosive growth. At present, China's digital architecture research is in a period of explosive growth. There are few related research literatures in core journals. There are more inter-institutional cooperation among universities, especially the "985 project" and "211 Project" inter-regional cooperation among universities is remarkable. The research focuses on three aspects: digital transformation and upgrading, digital construction technology R&D, and digital technology implementation. This paper also discusses the key contents and directions of the future research of digital architecture in China.
