Architectural Design and the Collaborative Research Environment

Architectural Design and the Collaborative Research Environment

Given that science is a collaborative endeavor, architects are striving to design new research buildings that not only provide a more pleasant work space but also facilitate interactions among researchers.

RBAC Architectural Design Issues in Institutions Collaborative Environment

Institutional collaborative systems focus on providing the fast, and secure connections to students, teaching and non-teaching staff members. Access control is more important in these types of systems because different kind of users access the system on different levels. So a proper architecture must be there for these kinds of systems, for providing an efficient and secure system. As lot of wo...

Knowledge-based Collaborative Architectural Design

Observing Architectural Design: Improving the Development of Collaborative Design Environments

The physical environments in which design collaborations take place provide many affordances, which enable interactions to occur both seamlessly and (in most cases) successfully. Physical collaboration is also facilitated through many aspects of the design process. Virtual design collaboration on the other hand, while successful at achieving the direct representation of activity around the arte...

Comparative navigation system for collaborative architectural design

We investigated the concepts, strategies, and functions of a 3D virtual design environment for collaborative, real-time architectural design using our 3D comparative navigation system and virtual reality technology. The development of the ‘comparison’ concept has enabled interactive design in real time in a 3D computer environment. Since participants must be able to easily understand the propos...
