54. Lessons Learned/ Future Improvements AEC Lessons:Improvements: Clarified discipline goals and roles in design, how disciplines respond to information Skill recognition Clear, straightforward, proactive synchronous and asynchronous communication Organizing information for documentation (i.e., web site) Working with technology More thorough use of communication resources (i.e, Recall) More efficient presentation of ideas Better online documentation of information and process

55. Final choice - challenges AEC architecture: some interesting questions still open - facades ? - roof garden ? - spiral stairs engineer: Concrete system Atrium skylight MEP space construction manager: Reduce budget through continued value engineering Integration of mechanical systems into current architecture Use of shotcrete for shear walls System for glass roof area team interaction: Value enginering for budget
