Introducing Architecture and Engineering Beyond Design, a blog series that delves into the multifaceted world of architecture and engineering, going beyond the aesthetics of design to explore the comprehensive scope of project management. Inspired by my own journey that began in 1997 at the University of the Philippines, this series reflects on over two decades of experience in the construction industry, where managing projects from concept to completion has become as crucial as the initial design.
The blog will explore the idea that architecture and engineering are not just creative endeavors but rigorous disciplines that demand effective project management, stakeholder engagement, and practical solutions. We’ll dive into various topics within the 12 Spheres of Competence in Construction Project Management Practice, offering insights and tools for professionals who want to expand their skills and navigate the complexities of modern projects.
This series is for architects, engineers, and construction managers committed to moving beyond traditional design roles, mastering competence-based practices, and contributing to the industry's future with integrity and excellence. Join us as we build a future where professionals excel not just as designers but as leaders and managers in the construction world.
