| Summary: |
In the past, some information technologies (IT) have quickly been
adopted by the engineering practice while the implementation of others has been
slower. In t6he paper, the author looks for a solid theoretical background that
could be used to explain this difference and warn about possible obstacles in
applying some technologies to civil and structural engineering. The
prevailingtheoretical background for the contemporary development in computer
aided design is the ration-alistic philosophical tradition, which claims that
intelligent human behavior is based on mental manipulation of symbolic
representations of the real world; that problem solving is a search in a spaceof
potential solutions and that communication is exchange of information.This
tradition has been challenged by a theory referred to as "hermeneutic
constructivism", that claims that the rationalistic premises are wrong and
suggests an alternative philosophical background for the use of computers. The
author confronts the two theories and discusses their impact onthe use of
information technology in construction. He finds that the new theory can clarify
some of the problems we face in current CAD research, as well justify some
optimistic expectations of the approaches that avoid complex representations of
data, activities and knowledge [COBISS.SI-ID 514401]
