The AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community (TAP) serves as a resource for AIA members, the profession, and the public in the deployment of computer technology in the practice of architecture. TAP leaders monitor the development of computer technology and its impact on architecture practice and the entire building life cycle, including design, construction, facility management, and retirement or reuse.
From TAP Faster Forward 2011, Bruce Cousin, AIA, presents "Design Management: A Lean Approach." He sets out the following learning objectives: 1) 3D Building Information Modeling technology is changing the way Architects design and deliver a project; 2) Combining the “Lean” Process with BIM technology works to facilitate a collaborative design process; 3) New Roles and Responsibilities are evolving for Architects to lead and or collaborate with all project stakeholders throughout design and construction process; 4) The fundamental building blocks of the Lean Process that can be applied to managing the design process? Including Design Management, Target Value Design, Set Based Design, Rapid Prototyping, Co-Location, Shared risk & reward; and 5) Path Forward for Lean, BIM and IPD projects?
