2 INTRODUCTION Being an architect is to keep creativity and sense of challenge alive throughout your career by turning each design project into an opportunity to step forward into research and innovation, to ameliorate day-to-day lives of users and inspire them to move into the future. However architects, particularly amongst many sole practitioners or small practices, struggle to associate the artistic side of the profession with the related cost implications. Architects must offer excellence of design and quality of service supported by a rigorous business system in order to achieve adequate rewards. Successful design proposals translate client s needs into a balance between innovation, beauty, functionality and technology, meet client s expectations within cost and time parameters while generating value for the architectural practice. Valuing the practice s work requires a deep understanding of the resources needed and related costs for an efficient delivery of the professional services. The measurement of the work content based on the information, drawings, schedules, allocation of appropriate personnel, technology/equipment and estimated numbers of hours required is fundamental to produce quality while getting adequate return. OBJECTIVES The course objectives aim to help students to: - Learn how to produce and manage a budget. - Estimate appropriate resources needed and related costs to deliver the quality of service required while getting a return. - Develop cutting-edge design concepts within the constraints of the target budget. - Understand that any client financial expectations can be matched by delivering design solutions that are original and innovative. METHODOLOGY The course will combine lectures, interactive exercises, readings, class discussions and a workshop, and will involve a high degree of student participation. 2
