• W2189122746 abstract "Construction education is traditionally taught through explaining the parts moving from simple to complex elements. The main subjects taught are technological, thus encouraging, all issues to be considered in this reductive manner. This paper considers the implications of this and presents systems theory as an approach which helps construction students to connect the parts to the whole, in particular, incorporating technology into a wider social perception which is required for sustainable construction. Systems theory has been used in construction research for over 50 years but this has had little impact on construction education. Systems thinking involves seeing the way parts are connected together whether physical entities or social organisations resulting in the classic expression that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The most common view of systems is as machines, however this is merely one category of system (designed physical system) and it is the others (designed abstract system and human activity system) which provide more insight into the operation of complex activities such as construction. It is the integrative, interdependent and complex nature of real world situations which can be represented by systems. The concept of complexity not only describes something with a large quantity of parts but involves not knowing what all the parts are and how they operate together even though the whole has perceived existence. Thus, the subject of systems is about a way of thinking through these problems and finding ways of representing them. The approach to this one semester course is outlined and examples of students work discussed in order to show the value of this for connecting parts and wholes. The paper also explores the utility of the tools for practice." @default.
