In a round table on the methods, tools and theories of urban design, the ‘costs of performance were addressed’ (Breckner et al 2019). These are not shown in the HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) and the AHO guidelines (Auschuss der Verbände und Kammern der Ingenieure und Architekten für die Honorarordnung e.V.). In the process, a performance-oriented perspective is used to say much more about what the realization of projects is actually about. This knowledge about and through performance usually remains implicit and thus does not become operational for all actors involved in the co-production of the project. But what does performance mean and how does project management deal with it?
