Architectural Management in the Digital Arena.
Vienna, Austria, 13—14 October 2011.
Host
Prof. Dipl.ing. Christoph Achammer, Vienna University of Technology
Aim
Architectural design processes are iterative processes in which designing and decision making are interwoven. Demands, wishes and concerns of clients and stakeholders for a beautiful, well functioning and sustainable building need to be fully understood and effectively communicated within the temporary project team. The focus of architects, managers, advisors and engineers has evolved from the project to responsibilities for the entire life cycle of the building. This is set in an age of rapid advances in digital technologies.
This conference aims to explore applications of architectural management using all types of electronic media for creating, communicating and realizing design in a variety of different contexts. Responsibilities for the building differ between the main contractor and the architect, usually depending on regional or national legislation; consequently this influences architectural management responsibilities, tasks, communication and collaboration.
The conference will serve as a meeting ground for experts, design and engineering professionals, academics, researchers, consultants and students from around the world. By the use of workshops it offers the opportunity for sharing experiences and exchanging knowledge for responding to new opportunities and challenges with smart, lean and sustainable design solutions.
Conference themes
- Smart, lean and intelligent architectural design management
