Digitalization, object-based modeling
During the period 2007-2010 I am, via working life studies, studying how digitalization affects the daily practice of architects and engineers, including collaboration between the two professions. I am in particular interested in the 3D object-based work method – that is, the change from computer aided design (CAD) to building information modeling (BIM). The cause for studying this relation is first and foremost the development program Det Digitale Byggeri [link], in which information management during the genesis of a building is digitalized.
Knowledge, learning, and management
The project is a three-year PhD project. Based on empirical working life studies (observations, interviews) of cases from the building industry I hope to be able to contribute with new knowledge about the impact on practice of structural and technological changes. My ambition is to capture and analyze the complexity of the learning and knowledge processes unfolding at workplaces introducing new technologies and standards that affect organizational routines and work processes.
Positioning
Aside from contributing to research on the importance of socio-material relations for, first and foremost, learning, collaboration, management and organizational development, the PhD project is also positioned in relation to CSCW research (distributed, cooperative labor). By virtue of the methodological foundation (actor-network theory, ANT), I will also be drawing on Science-Technology-Society studies.
Embeddedness, financing
The project is embedded in relevant environments at DPU, Aarhus University and CBS.
The PhD project is co-financed by Erhvervs- og Bygggestyrelsen [link] and det Strategiske Forskningsråd during the period 1 January, 2007 – 31 March 2010.
