“…These notions are not confined to the act of designing because even 'the design-build studio can serve as the basis for the synthesis, integration and transformation of knowledge' (Hinson, 2007, p. 23). Nor are these approaches limited to architecture: they have also extended to planning (Klaasen, 2007). In summary, as Radu asserts 'The process of architectural design is close to the process of knowledge creation in the sciences' (Radu, 2006, p. 345).…”

Southern Cross Station is one of the largest public-private partnership (PPP) projects undertaken in Australia. In this project the architects played a significant role in developing an iconic design which has received international professional design awards and much media attention. In the media the architects' design was perceived as having impacted negatively on capital costs. Given these contradictory perceptions, the aim of this study was to better understand perceptions of the architects' role in relation to project risks arising out of their design. A survey of key project executives working in the PPP consortium responsible for delivering the project was undertaken. The survey was structured by a framework combining the PPP life cycle, project risks and the idea that architectural design can be viewed as a research and development activity rather than simply as a problem-solving activity. The survey responses point to the fact that the architects mitigated technical and operating risks and their activities had little bearing on the project's substantial write-downs. This counters media perceptions of the project that the design activities of the architects created more risks than they mitigated.Architecture, risk management, design, public-private partnerships,

“…In other words, this representing process gathers scientific discoveries and knowledge from different disciplines (such like Hydrology, climate sciences, Landscape Ecology), and synthesizes and reinterprets them into certain plain guidelines or patterns for spatial planning and design (e.g. the regional design guidelines summarized by Aina T. Classen [6] , and the guidelines for design of eco-transition belts published by U.S. Department of Agriculture [7] ).…”

Bridging the Gaps Between Landscape Design Practice and Scientific Research: A Graphical Interpretation

Practitioners in the fields of landscape planning and design seem less taking advantage of, or even paying no attention to, existing findings of scientific research in other disciplines; and, they often conduct so-called "transdisciplinary" study on their own, but most of the outcomes are uncompetitive with those proven research findings in relevant fields. The author believed that it is essentially resulted from several dislocations between landscape practice and modern scientific research, that are, the gaps between holism and deconstruction, elements and functions, as well as graphics and texts. To bridge such gaps, this article puts forward two solutions: one is problem-finding and -addressing, and the other is synthesizing and visualization of research results, particularly through graphical interpretation.

“…At the same time, there is an ongoing debate about the importance of design (Kempenaar et al, 2016) and the use of best practices (Bulkeley, 2006) in developing knowledge. Some authors view the last two topics as part of the method of 'research by design' (Klaasen, 2007; Van den Akker et al, 2006;Bowring, 1997), in which the design process itself is considered an instrument for developing knowledge about the possible future of the targeted area. Although the aforementioned literature primarily takes a theoretical stance, Flyvbjerg (2004) makes a stand for what he calls phronetic planning research, which through the reporting of a detailed narrative of a real planning process should lead to a thorough understanding of the diverse impacts on the process's outcome.…”
