Abstract

A statistical bibliometric study of the trends of the topics related to the design, diagnosis of buildings and construction developed over the last 19 years is carried out through the analysis of five cases of international journals specific to the area of high impact research. in architecture and construction. The total volume of papers involved in the topics of analysis reaches 24,230 units. With these historical data it is expected to determine current issues, of sustained relevance and to detect emerging topics of great transforming potential in the discipline. Development trends are observed in the emerging topics of interest and percentage growth among all the topics considered. The variation in the level of participation of some topics in architecture and construction over time is defined in the cases analyzed. The results indicate the stable topics and those emerging whose development and antiquity announces a forthcoming trend that will transform again the way of designing, communicating and constructing the architectural object.
