The adoption of multidimensional exploration methodology to the design-driven innovation and production practices in AEC industry

Özet

The new horizon for research & development in AEC is directed through an interdisciplinary design-thinkingapproach. The design paradigms are not only as they were about form and function but now also aboutefficiency, sustainability, productivity, desirability, feasibility, and viability in current day. As a result of thisapproach, the term design innovation approves oneself. Correspondingly, emerging technologies such asrobotic fabrication & construction tools, self-fabrication & assembly, information and communicationtechnologies, computer science and related software technologies, enable the designers and engineers to pushthe edges of their creativity, productivity and sensitivity upon global issues. The emergence of those newtechnologies is defined as digitalism, and both academy and industry have almost totally adapted to thisdigital-design thinking approach. Consequently, the smooth communication between machines, makers anddesigners dominates the progression in architecture, science, technology and engineering. However, becauseof this shift, a research gap has emerged between new academic research and classical industrial productionas theory and practice do not overlap anymore. For the adoption of this emergent holistic design-thinkingapproaches; a new learning methodology has been introduced by the authors under the title of'Multidimensional Exploration Methodology.
