Von der Idee zum Produkt In der Baubranche nimmt die Nachfrage nach innovativen Produkten stetig zu. Produktentwicklung Architektur zeigt an ausgewählten Beispielen, wie planende Disziplinen zu diesen Innovationen im Bauen beitragen können. Einführende Essays erörtern übergreifend den thematischen und methodischen Rahmen. Case Studies zeigen exemplarisch die Umsetzung von Ideen zu Prototypen oder zu Produkten. Impulse setzen, Grenzen verschieben, Netzwerke aufbauen und erweitern, Ressourcen schonen, Planungswerkzeuge entwickeln und optimieren sowie additive Verfahren einsetzen – all diese Arbeitsprozesse werden durchgespielt und so die erforderliche Zusammenarbeit der vielfältigen Akteure im Bauwesen verdeutlicht. Die wegweisenden Lösungsansätze machen so die Rolle der angewandten Wissenschaften als gelebter Kooperation von Hochschule und Wirtschaft anschaulich wie die interdisziplinäre Vernetzung der Fachgebiete und Experten. Vorgestellt werden Projekte interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit wie die „Algen-Fassade“, die zu einer Realisierung eines Gebäudes mit einer Bioreaktorfassade auf der Internationalen Bauausstellung in Hamburg 2012 führte, oder die „Gedruckte Gebäudehülle“ als Ergebnis eines kooperativen Forschungsprojekts, das freie Formen aus 3D-Computerverfahren für die Fassadengestaltung generiert.

Methodology for Product Development in Architecture is dedicated to the methodology and processes of designing, developments and research of standard building products, building product systems and special building components, as well as to their applications in buildings. Therefore, this publication is of importance to product designers and product developers, who are mainly concerned with developing products and components at the side of producers, as well as to materializing architects and component designers. They are concerned with the materializing of the functional and spatial building concept as a whole and in parts.

Excerpt from The Role of Product Architecture in the Manufacturing Firm Product architecture is the scheme by which the function of a product is allocated to physical components. This paper further defines product architecture, provides a typology of product architectures, and articulates the potential linkages between the architecture of the product and six issues of managerial importance: (1) product variety, (2) product performance, (3) component standardization, (4) design and production lead time, (5) product change, and(6) the organizational structure of the firm. The paper is conceptual and foundational, synthesizing fragments from several different disciplines, including software engineering, design theory, operations management, and product development management. The paper is intended to raise awareness of the far-reaching implications of the architecture of the product, to create a vocabulary for discussing and addressing the decisions and issues that are linked to product architecture, and to identify and discuss specific trade-offs associated with the choice of a product architecture.

Shows you what it takes to develop products that blow your users away—and take market share from your competitors. This book will explain how the principles behind agile product development help designers, developers, architects, and product managers create awesome products; and how to look beyond a shiny user interface to build a great product. Most importantly, this book will give you a shared framework for your product development team to collaborate effectively. Product development involves several key activities—including ideation, discovery, design, development, and delivery—and yet too many companies and innovators focus on just a few of them much to the detriment of the product’s success in the marketplace. As a result we still continue to see high failure rates in new product development, be it inside organizations or startups. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, these failures are largely avoidable. In the last fifteen years, advances in agile software development, lean product development, human-centered design, design thinking, lean startups and product delivery have helped improve individual aspects of product development. However, not enough guidance has been available to integrate them in the context of the product development life cycle. Until now. Product developer extraordinaire Tathagat Varma in Agile Product Development integrates individual knowledge areas into a fiel d manual for product developers. Organized in the way an idea germinates, sprouts, and grows, the book synthesizes the body of knowledge in a pragmatic way that is more natural to the entire product creation process rather than from individual practices that constitute it. In today’s hyper-innovative world, being first to the market, or delivering feature-loaded products, or even offering the latest technology doesn’t guarantee success anymore. Sure, those elements are all needed in the right measures, but they are not sufficient by themselves. And getting it right couldn’t be more important: Building products that deliver awesome user experiences is the top challenge facing businesses today, especially in a post-Apple world where user experience and design has been elevated to a cult status.
