Özet: Engineering has been widely accepted as the only profession that directs and develops construction knowledge. When the leading architects of the Modern Movement in Architecture tried to change this image, they were accused of distancing the architect from the traditional artistic status despite the acceptance of industry and mechanization in all areas of life. In the history of construction, important innovations, which are often associated with prefabrication, have been realized as a result of architects' design approaches that interpret function and construction together. The aim of this article is to examine the effect of architectural design thinking on the emergence of construction innovation. The literature in the context of innovation theories and architectural design and production thought was discussed through Walter Gropius, one of the important representatives of Modernism. As a result, the impact of the architect on construction innovations was evaluated and the innovation processes they contributed to were identified.
