Architectural Design and Management in the Digital Age delivers an evaluation of digitalisation in the evolving processes of architecture, providing a holistic treatment of the subject in terms of technologies, human context, emerging concepts, and the management of digital projects.
This book includes analysis of: - the advantages of digital technology in appropriate circumstances but also to appreciate that alternative methods may continue to provide considerable benefits for other situations. - the implications of the digital world for creativity and architectural quality, the diversity of people who could be involved, and reaching the disadvantaged and disenfranchised. - the role of the architect and other professionals within design and management processes. - how emphasis on data management is creating diverging practices, which involve new concepts and definitions that require interpretation, especially with regard to experiences of design processes in different countries.
Providing fresh reflections on a myriad of timely topics, Architectural Design and Management in the Digital Age: International Perspectives is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and advanced students in architecture, design management, and construction, along with professionals in those disciplines.
