A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Integrated Architectural Design relies upon a multi-disciplinary and collaborative team, making decisions based on a shared vision, a commitment to success and a holistic understanding of the mission — the project. Architectural Design Teams today embody expanded in-house expertise and services in order to engage the most effective methodologies in the integrated project process. This is achieved over some time and through focused application on large complex multi-use projects and can be especially effective in the design of tall buildings. Adequate resources to support an integrated design process can be developed through training and professional development, strategic hires and/or selection of recognized experts. Expertise required beyond traditional architectural and engineering design and documentation in tall buildings includes, for example, building siting, daylighting design, energy modeling, landscape design, water and energy system design, ecology, renewable energy systems, security and information technologies. Diversification of expertise fosters creativity, thinking and a cross-disciplinary approach to design. This is required to produce exceptional quality architectural design as well as truly sustainable tall buildings. The entire integrated Design Team must be viewed as Experts and Stakeholders throughout the process, rather than periodically engaging, then disengaging them. This ongoing integrated approach will generate a greater commitment to and an understanding of each project's systems, materials, complexities, sustainability goals and opportunities. This also will enable Clients and project teams to develop innovative ideas and opinions which may not have surfaced by following a traditionally-linear project approach. A truly integrated project process will also ensure the achievement of higher performance goals.
