Synopsis

Open Design, a Collaborative Approach to Architecture, is about the application of the Poldermodel — the way major political issues tend to be resolved in the Netherlands through dialogue and exchange of views — in the realm of Architecture and Urban Planning. Offering concepts and methods to combine technical optimisation and social optimisation into one integrated design process, this book provides new solutions to the multi-stakeholder problem of complex building and urban planning projects. As such, it is of interest to all practitioners involved in such complex architects, urban planners, landscape designers, contractors, real estate investors, housing associations, residents' representatives and politicians. The Open Design approach has become feasible in practice due to the vastly increased computer capabilities over the past decade.
