Research

Per Christiansson's late (since 1985) research and industry collaboration has been mainly within the areas of knowledge representations, knowledge management, system development with end user participation, , user driven innovation and creative design, user environment design, computer supported collaboration, building product and process modeling, human computer interaction, multimedia/VR interfaces, user needs and requirements capture, computer supported distributed learning, intelligent buildings, and incremental system design and prototyping with industry collaboration.

He was scientific IT-in-construction advisor for the Swedish Building Research Council from 1983 - 1997 and was one of the founders of the Swedish national IT Building R&D program 1990 and active in the yrae 2007 finished national Danish Digital Construction program. Earlier research (1970s) has focused on building dynamics and probabilistic loads and load effects.

He has worked with internationally leading universities and industries during the latest 30 years and has published over 170 scientific reports and articles within the IT in construction domain. The Building Informatics group Aalborg University research can be viewed at the local 2011 copy of http://it.civil.aau.dk/it/projects/.

Education activities

Per Christiansson has except traditional education within civil engineering done pioneering development (1970 -) of courses at Lund University within areas such as; Computer controlled data acquisition, CAD and modelling, knowledge based systems, and hypermedia for knowledge transfer.

He was after 1998 engaged in research based education and course development within Building Informatics at Aalborg University. Courses are given at the Building Informatics, Civil Engineering, Building Management (and earlier at Architecture&Design) educations. Building informatics was 2001 to 2006 responsible for the Master of Industrial IT (MII) - Specialization in the Building Process, education at the Aalborg University. 2007 the group developed and launched the Cand. Scient. Techn. Building Informatics/CSTBI at Aalborg University. A local 2011 copy of Courses and educations are presented at http://it.civil.aau.dk/it/education/.
