This award supports the participation of approximately ten U.S. engineers in an international workshop on technological innovation in construction, to be held in Zurich, Switzerland in April, 1990. The meeting is coorganized by Professor D. W. Halpin of the Construc- tion Engineering Department of Purdue University and Professor Robert Fechtig, head of the Construction Division of the ETH in Zurich. Professor Halpin edited a report for the Office of Technology Assessment on the competition between countries in the International Architecture, Engineering and Construction market. This report demonstrated that there are philosophical differences in how construction is viewed both from a market structure perspective and from a market penetration point of view, and that this may explain why the U.S. is lagging behind in competitive performance. U.S. firms consider construction to be a service oriented industry in which the designer and construction contractor play the role of "technology broker." European and Japanese contractors see construction as both a product and service oriented activity in which the firm not only delivers the technology but is the developer of the technology. The key issues confronting the international construction industry today are the utilization of new technologies in the design and production of constructed facilities, and the change of organizational and contractual structures to be more responsive to international markets. The proposed workshop will address these issues by providing a forum for international experience transfer in advancing construction technology and increasing the understanding of mechanisms for technological innovation in construction. The conclusions and recommendations of the meeting will be widely disseminated throughout the U.S. through the International Construction Task Force of the Construction Industry Institute.

该奖项支持大约10名美国人参与。 参加技术革新国际研讨会的工程师 定于1990年4月在瑞士苏黎世举行。 会议由D教授共同组织。W.建筑师哈尔平 普渡大学工程系教授罗伯特· 位于苏黎世的联邦理工学院建筑部负责人费希蒂格说。 哈尔平教授为科技办公室编辑了一份报告 国际竞争力评价 建筑，工程和建筑市场。 本报告 证明了哲学上的差异 从市场结构的角度来看， 从市场渗透的角度来看，这可能解释了 为什么美国在竞争力方面落后。 美国公司 认为建筑业是一个以服务为导向的行业， 设计师和施工承包商扮演着“技术”的角色 经纪人.“欧洲和日本的承包商认为， 一个产品和服务导向的活动，其中公司不仅 提供技术，但它是技术的开发者。 国际建筑业面临的主要问题 今天是利用新技术的设计和 建筑设施的生产，以及组织结构的变化 和合同结构，以更好地应对国际 市场的 拟议的讲习班将通过提供 推进建设国际经验交流论坛 技术和提高对 建筑技术创新。 的结论和 会议的建议将在全国各地广泛传播， 美国通过国际建设工作队 建筑工业学院。
