4 Paradimes

1. Knowledge Creation- to move  from the baseline of what is, to a vision of what can be, in the pursuit of enhancements and new solutions
Drivers- questions, problems, needs, opportunities, aspirations
external context--->current state (status quo) <--- Internal Context
Important Point- the ability to mass produce the demanded product
Outcomes- What can be, answers, solutions, satisfaction, realization, fulfillment
external context--->future state (vision) <--- Internal Context
the drivers can become outcomes through RD^4E
Sustainability needs economic capital,social capital, natural capital, industrial capital, built capital
2. Integration
Three pillars: learning/teaching, research/creative work, engagement (practice/outreach and service)
3. Expanded Scholarship- in the pursuit of enhancement and new solutions (an example of this is all the different sectors of Texas A&M University
4.Pluridisciplinary- concerned with the boundary, depth, and solid theoretical foundation, (every field beliefs they have the "right" answer) This involves combining views from different fields.

Lean Project- how do you maximize the value and yet minimize waste, there is opportunities anywhere you look. Some areas include: scenario based project planning, automated design, integrated procurement and supply network, intelligent job site, intelligent self-maintaining repairing operational facility

to address the challenges of sustainability of the built environment we need the paradigms
