Abstract

The search for efficient systems to manage design complexity has engaged the scientific community for many years and methods and techniques for scheduling and controlling the project have long since become processing standards. However, the specific nature of the architectural product, which is linked to a precise place and user contextualization as well as to a very long building tradition untouched by problems of industrial production, probably represent the main reasons for the failure to apply these methods and techniques to architectural project management. In the last few years a few researchers have aimed their efforts at identifying and proposing new methods and techniques specifically developed for the collaborative design of architectural projects. The intrinsic nature of the collaborative design lies in the interdisciplinary nature and consequent complexity of the design problem itself. Collaborative design in the early phases of the architectural design process makes it possible to extend the field of exploration of the choices and to better define their technical and scientific implications; in the final phases it allows the operating efficiency of the design development to be enhanced. The fundamental problems essentially are: representation of the object in a form that is meaningful for the actor operating at a given stage of the design; its translation and interpretation in the semantic universe of another actor called upon (or who chooses) to intervene; modification and integration of the representation in accordance with the choices made by the intervening subject; verification of the overall and local performance, of the consistency, the coherence and the congruence of the partial result, and the identification of conflicts and their resolution.
