Architectural Design and Management in the Digital Age International Perspectives

Architectural and Construction Design and Management in the Digital Age will deliver a critical appraisal of digitisation in the evolving processes of construction design and management. It will provide a holistic treatment of the subject in terms of technologies, human context, emerging concepts, and the management of digital projects. The human context is a particularly novel perspective, with issues such as working in a virtual environment, creativity in the digital world, the diversity of people involved in construction, and using technology to reach the disadvantaged and disenfranchised, explored fully. The book examines digital techniques and their most appropriate application, while also discussing where analogue methods may still have a place. With a strong international perspective, it will enable readers to understand the power and potential impact of digitisation in construction.
