  1. nordic construction IT – post-graduate seminar 29-30 march in helsinkiSHORT PRESENTATION PHD PROJECT tentative title march 2006: EXPLORING THE ICT IMPACT ON THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROCESS – with a special eye on the architect’s work and interactions anita moum phd-candidate/M.Arch department of architectural design and management norwegian university of science and technology (ntnu) main supervisor: tore i. haugen advisory supervisors: birgit sudbø and bjørn otto braaten C.F. Møller Architects

  2. “BACKDROP” design in general can be seen to pass through phases of relative certainty and doubt. B. Lawson a good architectural design process is based on the successful interplay between unpredictable and iterative processes and actors the architect has traditionally a central position in the design process - his work and interaction with the other participants are essential for developing good architectural design solutions and building projects the AEC-industry face a rapid development within the field of ICT - both definition of processes and roles are affected - also the architect’s position and working conditions are in change b. lawson EFFORT cost DESIGN PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION impact OPERATION TIME

  3. AIM AND FOCUS OVERALL AIM to contribute to more knowledge about how ICT impact on central processes and actors within architectural design FOCUS work and interactions/collaboration within the design team special focus on the architect WHY IMPORTANT much research focus on technology development and improvement but: also research about technology impact on processes and roles within architectural design important APPROACH relation-/process-oriented, not technology-oriented! ?

  4. 1 2 RESEARCH STRATEGY AND METHODS • RESEARCH STRATEGY • flexible design strategy (evolves during data collection) • explorative purpose • mainly qualitative approach • MAIN METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS • reviews of contemporary literature and research • workshops with actors from both research and practice • multiple case studies of reference and building projects • MAIN SOURCES OF EVIDENCE IN CASE STUDIES • open-ended interviews with key-actors • documentary analysis • eventually small interview- or questionnaire survey • RESEARCH BASED ON TWO PARTS….. • a ”top-down” approach the starting point

  5. OVERVIEW OF THE PHD PROJECT’S TWO MAIN PARTS PART 1 PART 2 APPROACH broad scope AIM contribute to better understanding and overview of how ICT impact on the complex processes and relations within architectural design THROUGH development and application of a framework for exploration of the topic BASED ON - the interplay between 1) review of contemporary literature/research 2) workshops and discussions 3) “broad” case studies of building projects AHUS project ilsvika projects APPROACH limited scope – “diving” AIM gain knowledge about interdisciplinary use of BIM and its impact on central processes within the design team - especially the architects work and interactions THROUGH exploration of real life projects BASED ON application of framework for data collection, analysis, pattern matching WHY FOCUS ON INTERDISCIPLINARY USE OF BIM? quite new and untested in practiceimpact on processes and roles expected

  6. SHORT ABOUT FRAMEWORK: FOCUS AND PURPOSE design generation • framework needed as a support for • - getting overview of a complex topic • carrying out, analyzing and comparing case-studies • analyzing and organizing literature/theory • narrowing and limiting scope/focus • the framework focuses on four central aspects of the architectural design process…… • the generation of design solutions • communication • the evaluation of design solutions • decision-making communication design evaluation decision-making

  7. SHORT ABOUT FRAMEWORK: FOCUS AND PURPOSE …..and is based on the definition of 3 hierarchical levels macro-level contractors meso-level users client THE ICT IMPACT MATRIX summarizes the explored key benefits and challenges from implementation and use of ICT in the architectural design process, from both theory and practice – supports the comparing of empirical data from different case studies micro-level design team legislators design team designer/ architect the lines between the ”boxes” in the matrix are a ”breathing” screen between interconnected, interdependent and iterative elements another metaphor: puzzle

  8. BUILDING PROCESS programming design production case-studie del 1 case-studie del 2 CASE STUDIES – SAMPLE STRATEGY large-/middle scaled building projects trying out implementation and interdisciplinary use of BIM within design team being part of….. focus: BIM impact on interaction between architects and consultants exploring: - experiences from implementation/use > “lessons learnt” - challenges/barriers and benefits/potentials BUILDING PROJECT MESO- / MICRO-LEVEL ……R&D initiatives on AEC-industry level focus: ”back-drop”/context building project and design team interactions exploring: - visions, aims, experiences - guidelines implementation/use REF. PROJECTMACRO-LEVEL

  9. CONSIDERED CASE STUDY PROJECTS - DRAFT The case study method allows investigators to retain the holistic and meaningful characteristics of real-life events. (Yin, 2003) C.F. Møller Architects REFERENCE PROJECTS MACRO-LEVEL BUILDING PROJECTS MESO/MICRO-LEVEL building smart / IAI building down barriers IDM-project AHUS - new university hospital HITOS - tromsø university college (retrospective case) digital construction reykjavik concert- and congress center building smart / IAI arkos-project? berlin-brandenburg international airport HLT proIT?

  10. div. conference papers paper 2 BIM context initiatives/ implement. paper 3 BIM and design team processes paper 4 BIM and the architect’s work paper 5 reporting research results project reports/ assignm. paper 1 theoretical fundament RESEARCH PLAN 01.02.04 2006 2007 2008 2005 2004 01.04.08 review literature & research theoretical studies framework development framework development/ improvement literature review PART 1 test/pilot cases workshop workshop thesis writing research design analysis PART 2 analysis case studies part 1 questionnaire case studies part 1 case study design

  11. CONTRIBUTION OF RESEARCH • CONTRIBUTION TO • more knowledge • better understanding and overview • THROUGH EXPLORATION OF • relevant literature/research/theory • “lessons learnt” from practice • AND A REFLECTING ON THE IMPLICATIONS • for processes-/role definitions • SUPPORTED BY • application developed framework • FINDINGS FOUNDATION FOR • defining propositions/hypothesis/questions for further research • improving management and design-related processes • AND FURTHER DISCUSSIONS REGARDING • future work and role of architect > re-thinking needed? • design team processes > re-definition needed? • relation new technology vs. “established” processes? ? ? ?

  12. THE NEXT STEPS - CHALLENGES • RESEARCH DESIGN • definition research questions • further narrowing of scope • ensuring methodological reliability and validity • THESIS STRUCTURE/PLAN • level of ambition vs. what is actually possible • definition content/relation articles • DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK • definition hierarchical levels • interconnectedness of framework components • CASE STUDIES • case-study plan/design • sample (projects/respondents) • questions • time plan • practical limitations vs. appropriate methods (> research questions) So little done, so much to do.
