general findings

ICT has replaced traditional tools & methods widely in construction field working environments

Howard, Kiviniemi, Samuelson, 2002, The latest developments in communications and e-commerce, IT barometer in 3 Nordic countries, CIB w78, Aarhus, DK

building product modelling [BIM] has gained remarkable attention within the finnish construction field

a proposed digital future design & construction framework

to support

lifecycle long data management

software independent data management

architectural profession related findings

the domain of architectural design has changed during the last 20...30 years

CAD & ICT have replaced traditional tools & communicationBucher, Claude (ed.) (2003) Architect's Profile - Professional Practise, reference document, ACE, Architect's Council of Europe, Internet 10.5.2006

new profesional profiles have emergeddespite a designer, an architect is also a manager and an IT-specialist

ICT has impressed the dualism betweendesign content, quality, form, shape [architecture]

content representation, methods [tools]

Penttilä’s research question evolution

[1] map the contemporary architectural working environment

find ICT-based changes

[2] map the architectural ICT-phenomena within Finnish architectural practice

find & document measurable changes

separate hypes & hopes from reality

[3] is design by modelling & BIM suitable for early architectural design

BIM is so far mainly tested & used in later building project phases

QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

dualistic essence of the research topic

design practice [praxis]

tools to represent the design content

Architectural design data representation in early project phases with building information models

Hannu PenttiläPh.D. topic:

architectural design data – separate design data from customer & management related project dataconcentrate of pragmatic design representation rather than architectural design content issues early project phases – project planning, requirements, sketching, design proposalsBIM – extend the [current] BIM-framework from [later] detailled design also to earlier design essentials
