... speeds up design processes considerably, linearised workflows also result in a trivialisation of design processes: Avoiding structural engineering challenges, architects tend to rely on preexisting solutions, whereas engineers receive architectural design proposals that do not provide opportunities...

...Ranulph Glanville; Ben Sweeting; Timothy Jachna Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a model of the architectural design process as a set of interlinked conversations, to explain the role of the artifacts of the design process in facilitating these conversations, and to demonstrate...

... the design process, enhancing creativity and transformative approaches to design projects. Design/methodology/approach Theories about the emergence of new knowledge, and the causal nature of internal conversations, are used to present a case for the value of a structured self‐reflective conversational...

... the hypothesis that cyberarchitecture can benefit from taking the virtual into account in the design process, so that the architect is no longer the author of a finished architectural product, but of a set of instruments with which users can design, build and use their own environments simultaneously...

...Ranulph Glanville; Argyris Arnellos; Thomas Spyrou; John Darzentas Purpose This paper aims to develop the role of autonomy in the emergence of the design process. It shows how the design process is facilitated by autonomy, how autonomy is enhanced through the design process and how the emergence...
