New approach revolutionizes collaborative engineering design for building projects.
The article discusses a method to help design teams work together more effectively by combining design and engineering knowledge early in the building design process. They used a model called C-K theory and morphological overviews to understand how knowledge is created and shared within teams. The researchers collaborated with architectural and engineering societies to test their approach in workshops with over a hundred professionals. The workshops were successful and are now part of a professional training program for architects in the Netherlands.
