In the class, we discuss the construction management topics for the commercial investment real estate. The construction industry, one of the major economic markets in the country, is related to owner, architect and contractor by creating physical buildings. Many people are involved in construction and when construction is finished, the buildings are used as real estate business investments. Upon the architectural design experience in Dallas and studies at UT Arlington, I have started to work with Architecture, Real Estate and Business. I think the future architecture is more closely approaching it’s intention to make energy environmental and efficient buildings. Upon the strategies, there are many approaches to make creative exploration. It is difficult to see good sustainable buildings around us, and it sounds the initial construction cost is more than expected. Also it needs many years of experience and education in lifetime for architects to open their eyes on the sustainability.
