“…The issue of architectural design as an activity that often involves more than one individual has been raised [7]; that is, design can occur as a group activity between different groups that may have different interests and types of knowledge. The approach was illustrated by using a protocol in recording the discussion between a designer and a client group as they discussed a design solution that the designer produced.…”

An essential prerequisite to successful cooperative design is communication among designers in the design task concerned. Linguistics may support the communication process by providing procedures for the analysis of verbal communication, whether spoken or written, and hence, immediately suggests itself as a source of descriptive methods that may fruitfully be employed in the study of communication in cooperative design.However, linguistics concepts can also be applied in other ways to cooperative design technology, notably in relation to the design of knowledge-based systems (agents). It is within this context that this paper presents a communication scheme called CASCADE (Communicative Acts in Cooperative Architectural Design Environments) which supports the interaction between agents. It commences by outlining a multi-agents framework and discusses the communication scheme and its implementation.

“…If the users are involved in the design activity, it is assumed that the prospects of obtaining a usable design solution are more achievable. In addition, as a result of encompassing more people into the design activity, with different experiences and different perspectives, the creative potential for finding a satisfactory solution is increased (Branki et al, 1992).…”

A fundamental concept with multimedia systems is that of 'seamless integration' of various media types. The concept is analysed in the context of spatial planning environments. After traditional uses of various media and the relationships between those media have been surveyed, the implications of media integration for the planning and design process are examined. The benefits are described implicitly, enabling a single plan to be viewed from different perspectives. At the technological level, this is related to the integration of design-planning teams and the integration of different phases of the design and planning cycle. The state of the art in multimedia integration is described and it is shown that a technological perspective on integration is restrictive because of its neglect of human factors. A system is proposed which might deliver the flexibility required by contemporary design-planning teams.

“…Creative products can be generated by individuals, among individuals interacting on a team, or across multiple workgroups in an organization. While classic research studies based in psychology primarily focused on identifying the traits of creative individuals (Guilford, 1967;Mackinnon, 1965Mackinnon, , 1970Sussman & Justman, 1976), more recent research efforts examine creativity in its broader social context (Amabile, 1990;Amabile & Mueller, 2008;Branki, Edmonds, & Jones, 1993;Cross & Clayburn Cross, 1995). For example, the collision of diverse ideas and perspectives among teammates can heighten creative problem solving; however, in the wrong social context, competing ideas can divide and debilitate a team (Watson, 2007).…”

This study examined relationships among personality traits, problem‐solving styles, and creative performance of business and design student teams. Forty‐two business, merchandising, and interior design students, divided into six teams of seven, participated in an interdisciplinary competition to solve a real‐world retail design problem. Students completed the Adjective Check List (ACL) and the Creative Problem‐Solving Profile to gauge personality traits and problem‐solving style, respectively. The ACL was scored using Domino's Creativity Scale (ACL‐Cr) to identify personality traits associated with creative behavior and seven additional subscales associated with team dynamics. The sample also completed a Team Process Survey (TPS), created by the researchers to identify team strengths, challenges, conflicts, and resolutions during the process. Finally, a panel of judges with business, merchandising, and design expertise rank ordered the final design solutions and accompanying business proposals to determine the winning competition entry. Findings indicated that individual creative personality traits might be a necessary but not sufficient condition for creative team performance. Also, teams that displayed more diversified problem‐solving profiles outperformed less diverse teams, with the winning team having the most equal representation of all problem‐solving styles. All teams reported conflicts and challenges during the process; however, the bottom three placing teams took conflicts personally, whereas the top three placing teams perceived emerging conflicts as a positive force to develop their thinking and strategy.
