Objective

The students shall understand the complexity of integrating different professional disciplines as well as engaging stakeholders in the design process in order to be able to develop a skill in managing the design process in the construction sector. The long-term objective of the course is to add to the development of design management as a value adding activity.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this course the students shall be able to:

  • Understand and be able to describe:
    • the complex challenges of a multidisciplinary process of design
    • the role of the design management process in construction
    • to discuss the challenges in the design management process
    • the Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept and it´s opportunities and implications in the design process and the management of it

 

  • Be familiar with and able
    • to describe and discuss the roles and actors in the design processes
    • to describe design theory and being able to discuss design processes and actions in it
    • to describe, use and discuss design methodology and tools
    • to take part in a multi-disciplinary team of building-design
    • to describe and discuss project management using BIM in the design process  

 

  • Communicate with other actors in the planning processes in a professional way

 

Content Description

The course contains lectures addressing design theory, design methods and design tools, including BIM, Integrated Project Delivery, focusing on how they are managed to lead and manage the design process.

Project tasks and exercises designed to teach the student to elements of the design process. Collaboration, communication and integration between different disciplines are the focus.
