Description
The book contains the papers developed from the presentations atthe Distributed Intelligence in Design Symposium, held inSalford in May 2009. In this context, Distributed Intelligencerefers to the interdisciplinary knowledge of a range of differentindividuals in different organisations, with different backgroundsand experience, and the symposium discussed the media, technologiesand behaviours required to support their successful collaboration.
The book focusses on:
* how parametric and generative design media can be coupled withand managed alongside Building Information Modelling tools andsystems
* how the cross-disciplinary knowledge is distributed andcoordinated across different software, participants andorganizations
* the characteristics of the evolving creative and collaborativepractices
* how built environment education should be adapted to thisdigitally-networked practice and highly distributed intelligence indesign
The chapters address a range of innovative developments,methodologies, applications, research work and theoreticalarguments, to present current experience and expectations ascollaborative practice becomes critical in the designof future built environments.
