{"title":"Constructing platform capitalism: inspecting the political techno-economy of Building Information Modelling","authors":"Kathrin Braun, Cordula Kropp, Yana Boeva","doi":"10.1017/S135913552200046X","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S135913552200046X","url":null,"abstract":"In this article, we argue that in order to properly assess the potentials, challenges, and implications of the digital transformation in architecture and construction, we need to better understand the political-economic dynamics behind it and examine it in light of the current reorganisation of global capitalism. The focus of this article is therefore on the larger political-economic and techno-economic conditions that are shaping the implementation of digital technologies in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector. Based on document analysis on the digital turn in architecture and construction, along with interviews with AEC professionals, we argue that the logic of platform capitalism is beginning to transform the industry, with Building Information Modelling (BIM) acting as an obligatory passage point and government policies as gate-openers. The article, first, discusses concepts of platform and platform capitalism and indicates how these apply to recent reconfigurations of actor and power relations in the field. Second, it reviews some of the developments in digital architecture from 2D drawings to BIM and beyond. Third, it examines the role of government policies as driving forces in the digital transformation. Forth, it takes a closer look at the case of software producer Autodesk and their BIM product Revit, which illustrates how the logic of platform capitalism has gained traction in architecture and construction. Finally, it concludes that some expectations can be derived from these observations: In the realm of design software, we can expect a further concentration of economic power and a near-monopolistic structure of the market. Moreover, we can expect a shift of focus and investment from architectural design to socio-digital modes of construction and urban planning that benefit primarily real estate owners, investors, developers, and construction companies. Furthermore, we can expect large construction firms to secure themselves a comfortable starting position as early adopters, while SMEs are facing bigger challenges to benefit from the digital transformation. Lastly, we can expect a further encroachment of tech giants and domain outsiders such as Alphabet into architecture and construction, turning buildings and cities into machines for data extraction.","PeriodicalId":43799,"journal":{"name":"arq-Architectural Research Quarterly","volume":"36 1","pages":"267 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85099425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article questions how such an ecological approach relates to the architectural image, experience, and inhabitation. Through two archetypical projects - Siegfried Ebeling’s Wohnkubus (1926) and Cedric Price’s Generator (1976-9) – this article examines a possible theory of ecologically oriented architecture which engages aesthetic values related to the human experience of architectural space. The projects are separated by the same fifty-year gap that separates Generator from present day, and the article therefore tries to reveal if and how both archetypes could suggest the need for an updated model for environmental design. What can we learn from these projects, and how do the Wohnkubus and Generator unveil other modelling practices? Is architecture today capable of (or even entitled to) producing exemplary representations committed to the ethical dimension of the global change?","PeriodicalId":43799,"journal":{"name":"arq-Architectural Research Quarterly","volume":"16 1","pages":"255 - 265"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85345294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the course of his career spanning around sixty years – from his earliest work to his retirement from the practice of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, since renamed RSHP – he won most of the major awards available to architects, including the RIBA’s Royal Gold Medal (1985) and the Pritzker Prize (2007) [1]. His firm twice won the Stirling Prize for the best building in a given year in the UK (2006 and 2009), a rare achievement. And his work has helped to shape major cities across the world including Paris, London, Tokyo, Sydney, New York, and Barcelona. In parallel to these conventional tokens of architectural success are his less appreciated achievements as a politician and public servant. Among these public roles, he was a member for the Labour Party of the House of Lords, the upper chamber of the British parliament (which granted him the title of Lord Rogers of Riverside) from 1996 until 2021; he chaired the Urban Task Force established by the Labour Government under Prime Minister Tony Blair to recommend how to reverse urban decline in Britain, which reported in 1999; and between 2000 and 2009 he advised the first two mayors of London on design. He was also closely involved with numerous social causes and initiatives.","PeriodicalId":43799,"journal":{"name":"arq-Architectural Research Quarterly","volume":"18 1","pages":"213 - 221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74220472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film is a visual exploration in which craft and found objects contrast with the mass-produced industrial structure of their house, but also a constant tension between the frantic acceleration of its images and moments of slow pace. Proceeding from a close reading of House: After Five Years of Living, this article analyses its film and editing technique to proposes how domesticity becomes a screen. This means, an ideological surface promoting the cultural, social, and economic changes of the Cold War period, while simultaneously screening out (obscuring) its anxieties, preoccupations, and fears in its mode of visual representation. In the film, the Case study House #8 exposes and covers, promotes and disguises, veiling some preoccupations and motivations while exhibiting an alternative reality.","PeriodicalId":43799,"journal":{"name":"arq-Architectural Research Quarterly","volume":"15 1","pages":"236 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77506424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ostensibly, this is a book of twelve unbuilt projects prepared between 2002 and 2015 by the office of Pierre d’Avoine. Yet, it also is far more than that. The projects are presented graphically through drawings and accompanied textually by transcriptions of interviews with a range of people connected to each project. The drawings are as you would expect if you have read Housey Housey: A Pattern Book of Ideal Homes: 1 an immaculate series of precise-line plans, sections, elevations, isometrics, axonometrics, and perspectives, sometimes collaged with photographs of context – and mostly seen from inside to out – which are absolutely without excess. These occasionally come supported by predominantly blackand-white photographs of models, all constructed in neutral materials focusing more on formal arrangements but which nonetheless give an overall sense of how the material qualities are intrinsically consistent to their disposition. Between text and drawings, not only do we see skilled architectural design conducted in exacting conditions, we also gain illuminating insight into a socially minded view of architecture with a subtle but vital critique of the cultural landscape of England. There is a modesty about each project. Even ‘Pleasure Holm for Birnbeck Island’ has reserve [1]. At first glance it seems quite unlike the eleven other projects, in that it is a visually striking project that ‘...a subtle but vital critique of the cultural landscape of England ...’","PeriodicalId":43799,"journal":{"name":"arq-Architectural Research Quarterly","volume":"38 1","pages":"283 - 288"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81362814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
