Abstract
This document is a fully written reading note about two articles:
Epistemological Explanation of Lean Construction » de Lauri Koskela, Andrea Ferrantelli, Jarkko Niiranen, Ergo Pikas, Bhargav Dave, paru dans le « Journal of construction engineering and management », vol.45, février 2019, publié par l'American Society of Civil Engineers.
Agility in construction » de Robert Owen, Lauri Koskela, paru dans les actes du « 20th IPMA World Congress on Project Management », 2006.
In both articles, the question analysed is related to methods of engineering and management, particularly in lean construction and construction. The idea is to analyse the methods used and where their influences, Platonic and Aristotelian, come from, in order to point out strengths and weaknesses of both methods and find what could be used to improve society, business and engineers ‘work in future.
