Abstract
This paper discusses collaboration models and technologies
which support the work of multi-disciplinary building design
teams. The thesis of this study is that: each mode of
collaboration among project participants, i.e., work in face-to-face
meetings, and distributed collaborative work requires
different models of computer support to facilitate communication
and negotiation. The paper emphasizes issues and needs of
collaboration models and technologies. We present two
collaboration frameworks Interdisciplinary Communication
Medium (ICM) and Federation of Collaborative Design
Agents (FCDA) tested in a multi-disciplinary, team-oriented,
project-based course. The paper concludes with preliminary
observations and lessons learned from the experiments.
