  1. understanding, measuring, managingChanges within the Architectural Profession • The Effects of ICT on Architectural Practice • Roadmap & Future Directions for Modern Architectural Discipline Hannu Penttilä HUT architecture http://www.mittaviiva.fi/hannu

  2. understanding, measuring, managingChanges within the Architectural Profession • The Effects of ICT on Architectural Practice • are the research questions relevant ? • is the target achievable ? • is the focus well defined ? • are scientific methods proper ? http://www.mittaviiva.fi/hannu

  3. understanding, measuring, managing Changes within the Architectural Profession methods theory literature interviews case studies framework of the changes validation analysis conclusions 3. publish change framework 1. publish theory methods 2. publish cases 4. publish validation conclusions 2006 2007 2008 2009

  4. introductionResearch context Participant [process oriented] view to AEC-field • essential co-players within contemporary construction • communication environment

  5. introductionResearch contextInternal communication environment Discipline internal needs • how to manage architectural information • how to manage design changes • how to maintain design freedom & richness

  6. introductionExternal communication environment Construction process and participant needs • what are the [data, communication] needs related to architects • how to supply proper architectural data in correct form

  12. Focusing & planning the workbuilding theory on practicedefining the essential steps in research • observed problem[s] • theoretical limitations [point of departure] • [measurable & testable] research questions • research tasks • research results • [intellectual] contributions to knowledge • practical significance Schema by Martin Fischer / Stanford CIFE

  13. Focusing & planning the work • observed problem[s] • architectural working environment has changed • architects role[s] in construction process have changed • theoretical limitations [point of departure] • focus on architects’ working environment • exclude wide AEC-field cover • exclude design content

  14. [measurable & testable] research questions • what is the contemporary architectural working environment like • find ICT-based changes • research tasks • literature & case studies • delphi-questionnaires [professional & expert reviews] • describe & measure changes • research results • portrait of contemporary architectural profession • description of new & changed activities Focusing & planning the work

  15. Focusing & planning the work • [intellectual] contributions to knowledge • modern design practice overview • described change pattern (based on cases, interviews & barometers) • practical significance • adjusting architects’ activities & work to contemporary process requirements • applicable research results • observed problem[s] • architectural working environment has changed • architects role has changed

  16. Focusing the researchChanges within the Architectural ProfessionThe Effects of ICT on Architectural Practice • includeexclude & limit • architect AEC-field • building design urban planning • design process actions design theory • practice environment[s] hypothetical politics • change description wishes, hopes, aspirations • true proved facts loose expectations

  17. Focusing problemChanges within the Architectural ProfessionThe Effects of ICT on Architectural Practice • [the whole AEC-discipline as a] research topic is too wide • too many new fields to be covered • change management • organizational sciences, design management • economy etc... • not just ICT but also several other [important] contexts • professional political interests • low result expectations

  18. Changing Architectural ProfessionResearch Objectives • to form a theoretical framework for ICT-based changes • to test the framework • to make the research results applicable in practice

  19. the nature of changes • change • evolution .. process .. • [intended] action Aristotles • change of what ? • new things appeared • some things disappeared • some things are different • managing the change [proactively] • not just following the change [react] • change effects • viewer dependable • reflect other changed disciplines
