Leading research into architectural management is the CIB’s working group W096 Architectural Management. CIB W096 was established in 1993 following the first conference dedicated to Architectural Management, held in the UK in 1992. Since this time the commission has been active in the area, with regular international conferences, meetings and published conference proceedings.
The Architectural Management working group brings together researchers and practitioners concerned with the whole life cycle of building and construction projects. Recently the members of the working group have concentrated on achieving value for stakeholders and this work has led to a focus on integrated design teams and improved communications. Active working areas are; revaluing design, communicating design, inclusive design, design management, design integration, design management education and revaluing architectural practice—all with an underlying sustainable agenda.
The commission members have recently produced a book Architectural Management: international research & practice (Eds. Emmitt, Prins, Otter, 2009, Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford), which provides a state of the art report into the rapidly evolving Architectural Management field.
