Opis

Effective building design management depends upon the collective efforts of all participants in the design and realization of buildings. This involves the establishment of appropriate managerial frames as well as the assembly and maintenance of effective teams if design value is to be realized. Building design management is a rapidly evolving field and this special issue of the journal Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines a variety of approaches to design management from different perspectives. The underlying argument is for the better management of design value in an increasingly complex building sector. Written by international experts in the field, the core themes include the modelling, coordination and management of design information; the definition and realization of architectural value; digital outsourcing of architectural services; knowledge capital in architectural education; and the importance of cultural issues.
