For the first time, building science students and construction executives had the opportunity to work with a discipline that maintains a very different set of problem solving approaches. This collaboration benefits their professional development and gives construction personnel “out-of-box” creativeness to examine their daily problems with a new paradigm.
建筑学学生和建筑工程管理人员第一次有了一起工作的机会,运用完全不同的方法来解决面临的问题.这样的合作有利于他们专业的发展,赋予建筑人员现有创造能力以崭新的问题审视方式.
The PVC pipe heater is a perfect example of problem solving with a different paradigm than is their routine practice. There was a similar case in 2006, in which job site superintendents asked a student to design a better method of protecting their blueprints. Instead of producing a predictable design, such as a water-resistant plan folder, the student suggested that the plans be printed on Tyvek, a polyethylene fabric that is weather and tear resistant. Today, the concept is in the process of being commercialized.
聚氯乙烯管加热器就是运用非常规方法解决问题的完美范例.2006年也发生过相似的案例,当时现场负责人要求学生提出一种设计来更好地保护图纸.通常的做法有的是,如防水图纸夹,但是该学生出乎意料之外地建议将图纸印在防水耐用的Tyvek聚乙烯材料上.今天,这个想法正处于商业化过程中.
According to the Illinois Board of Higher Education (2007), collaboration is a concept that is difficult to define and even more difficult to implement. The faculty members of both industrial design and building science participated in this collaboration process, establishing a successful collaboration model for this and other projects. This model provides examples for industrial design, as an industry, to broaden its professional spectrum and its impact in interdisciplinary collaboration.
根据伊利诺伊州高等教育管理委员会（2007）的解释,“合作”这个概念定义难,实施起来更难.工业设计和建筑科学两方面的人员参与合作过程,为各个项目建立了成功的合作模式.这个模式为工业设计这个行业树立了榜样,以此扩展其专业范畴,增强其跨学科合作的影响.
