mid-research check point 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

mid-research check point architectural
profession related findings

• the domain of architectural design has changed
  during the last 20...30 years
• CAD ICT have replaced traditional tools
  communication
• Bucher, Claude (ed.) (2003) Architect's Profile -
  Professional Practise, reference document, ACE,
  Architect's Council of Europe, Internet 10.5.2006
• new profesional profiles have emerged
• despite a designer, an architect is also a
  manager and an IT-specialist
• ICT has impressed the dualism between
• design content, quality, form, shape
  architecture
• content representation, methods tools

Penttiläs 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

12
dualistic essence of the research topic

• architectural design content
• form shape
• the meaning

architecture

• design practice praxis
• tools to represent the design content
• representation of the form and shape

Architectural design data representation in early
project phases with building information models
Hannu Penttilä Ph.D. topic
15
Hannu Penttilä Architectural design data
representationin early project phases with
building information models

• architectural design data separate design data
  from customer management related project data
• concentrate of pragmatic design representation
  rather than architectural design content issues
• early project phases project planning,
  requirements, sketching, design proposals
• BIM extend the current BIM-framework from
  later detailled design also to earlier design
  essentials

representationin early project phases with
building information models
architectural design practice

• how design tasks are performed in practice
• how design content is represented
• how design data is described, documented and
  transmitted

17
Hannu Penttilä Architectural design data

design by modelling

• information data modelling BIM rather than
  form shape modelling geometry
• rised critics whether controlled data management
  can be a proper design platform

  technology on design methods, products and
  practices, Design Studies, Volume 27, Issue 3,
