Abstract

Recent technological advances offer significant promise for enhancing architectural practice through the Digital Twin paradigm, which constructs a continuously updated virtual counterpart of physical assets to facilitate persistent, data-driven oversight, synthesis, and refinement. Conceived within the broader framework of sustainable development, Digital Twin endows decision-makers with the analytic leverage to boost energy performance, curtail greenhouse-gas outputs, and promote protracted asset durability via informed, asset-responsive management within a circular lifecycle. This study probes the prospective incorporation of Digital Twin technologies at each phase of the asset lifecycle, namely: strategic programming, realization, and enduring operation and stewardship. A qualitative methodology comprising a systematic literature synthesis and a portfolio of landmark international case studies involving Digital Twin in sizeable, sustainability-oriented architectural undertakings guides the inquiry. Outcomes reveal that systematic Digital Twin integration catalyses fundamental digital reform within the architectural field, strengthens data accountability across governance and technical boundaries, and underpins performance-oriented, environmentally conformed decision pathways. The research counsels a staged, phased dispersal of the technology, concentrating initial initiatives upon multi-unit housing and institutional assemblies in tropical climates, in furtherance of sustained, equitable urban advancement.
