The Role of Project Management in Fostering Creativity: Towards Successful Architectural Design Projects in India

ARCHITECTURE

Construction Industry is an industry which is growing at a rapid pace in many developing countries like India. These countries will be home to many complex architecture and design in the near future Constructing these buildings has two parts designing and construction. While designing is relatively easy construction of these complex design projects is a big task for these countries. Developing nations have the man-force, The capital etc. but they lack in management. Here projects once started are not completed or take a huge time to get completed. Which slows down the development process and disturbs the relations between the architects and the stakeholders which will possibly result in less investment from big prominent firms around the world. This study will look at the various issues that the building industry faces, as well as the steps that may be taken to address these issues so that these countries can host a diverse range of interesting and sophisticated architectural and design forms. The major improvements can be done by managing the construction efficiently. so, the purpose of this research is to identify the best practices for Project management in India and how they can make an impact on construction industry by doing literature review and comparing the case studies of buildings built in developed countries and buildings built in India and pointing out the problems faced by Indian construction industry. Further on the validity of the research was cross checked by doing an online survey from various architecture student’s, Architects and Developers in India post that a small interview was conducted which further helped me identify the extent of the study. The combined findings, from studies and survey’s (i.e., primary and secondary study) helped me to identify the role played by the Project manager’s leadership approach, the project team characteristics, the team members’ approach, and their workflow structure which leads to a proper management for construction in India which further leads to a conclusion which help us identify the role of construction management in fostering creativity: towards successful architecture design projects in India
