Volker, L. Smyth, H. Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Real Estate Management Date 2014-02-13 Abstract Despite being one of the most important means to obtain commissions, explore in design terms and develop design quality, architectural competitions are an extremely controversial practice. Nevertheless, they are increasingly adopted within the European procurement law, to the point that exploring and understanding their debated issues is essential to improve their effectiveness. We use a paradox lens to open up managerial insights and to develop a theory of architectural competitions’ paradoxes. We propose a set of paradoxes and managerial implications for architects and clients/juries with regard to each competition phase: programming, selection and shortlist, design of the proposals, and jury decision making Subject paradoxcompetition stagesprocurement systemcompetition traditionmanagerial implications To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:39f1b3d4-1747-4022-b94d-c60dca3e2736 Publisher Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment Source 5th International Conference on Competitions 2014, Delft, The Netherlands, 13-14 February 2014 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type conference paper Rights (c) 2014 The Author(s) Files PDF Manzoni.pdf 288.51 KB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:39f1b3d4-1747-4022-b94d-c60dca3e2736/datastream/OBJ/view
