Abstract

The increase in the complexity of the building process is leading to a parallel general reduction in product quality, commonly ascribed to the inadequacy of the routine design methods and tools. Indeed the latter make their overall integration more difficult and impose serious constraints on design creativity, while they do not help design considered as ‘the ability to choose from different solutions’. It is generally recognized that the solution of the problem lies in efficient forms of collaboration among all the actors involved in a project. However none of the forms and tools proposed hitherto has been found satisfactory. This paper shows how the essential basis of all forms of collaboration lies in the representation and management of the knowledge activated along the design process. Then an innovative distributed Knowledge-based system aiming at an effective and creative collaboration among the actors. By virtue of the interoperability established among the various semantic universes it enhances the level and the quality of the information exchanged among the actors while managing not to change their operating modes. We show how the proposed organization of the Knowledge Structures provide a basis for improving the design process.
