Distributed Intelligence in Design Edited by Tuba Kocatürk & Benachir Medjdoub Distributed Intelligence refers to the interdisciplinary knowledge of a range of different individuals in different architectural and engineering design organisations, with different backgrounds and experience. This book discusses the media, technologies and behaviours required to support their collaboration in the development and execution of successful Architectural Design and Construction projects. Distributed Intelligence in Design focuses on: • How parametric and generative design media can be coupled with and managed alongside Building Information Modelling tools and systems • How the cross–disciplinary knowledge is distributed and coordinated across different software, participants and organizations • The characteristics of the evolving creative and collaborative practices • How built environment education should be adapted to this digitally–networked practice and highly distributed intelligence in design The chapters address a range of innovative developments, methodologies, applications, research work and theoretical arguments to present current experience and expectations as the practice of designing the future built environment develops in a highly collaborative and decentralised way.

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.
