About this title

Synopsis

An introduction to the emerging field of Computer Supported Collaborative Design (CSCD), showing that information technology, as applied in architectural design, has evolved into a form of networking that supports group processes of design. The book presents a survey of recent experiments in supporting collaborative drawing and design activities and its implications. Involving an explanatory study of teamwork in building design, where team members of different disciplines collaborate to achieve a coherent architectural whole, the book shows that some kind of flexible generic framework can be employed to sustain group dynamism through a projectss lifetime. Digital networking is the foundation for the development of any CSCD applications. This book intends to present a basic typology of networking upon which collaborative computing systems can be built and operated and is the first book to meet the subject matter as a whole in a single coherent volume.
