“…The range of predefinition of the product affects how to manage a design process in construction and how information systems support the progress with human knowledge of the work. Visualising planning, as the artefact of planning construction projects in flow-oriented work, are used instead of traditional resource-planning with schedule techniques [2].…”

Predefinitions in house-building platforms is developed as routines to manage project building information models over to production data by documents and digital drawings. Visualisation of the information flow in the industrialised house-building process is hard to track and information are often presented as islands, seldom described in the flow for the entire process. Interactive visualisation, using game technology, has open up for new applications of data-transformation,-visualization and-simulation of project information which is less studied in the context of industrialised house-building. This paper tries to address this issue via a combination of game engine technology and the predefined industrialised house-building process. The game engine technology allow development for end-user demands and functionality to express and visualise values for the daily planning and execution of processes. In a case study approach the development and analysis of four building projects were studied and chosen to the range of product platform predefinitions. Based on object structure for different views, models and the related metadata were visualised with an immersive virtual environment prototype. The prototype, based on game engine technology, was developed to manage incoming building projects variations that followed house-building platform predefinitions. As a visualising tool of engineering, on-site planning and production process the game engine technology simulates and visualize views on product structures, production information, assembling and operation instructions by interactive functions in the game environment.

“…In 2011, Park developed a knowledge management system for storing and using the design knowledge acquired in the process of a user-centered design of the next generation information appliances [4]. In 2016, Jansson et al examined how designers' unique knowledge backgrounds can fuel analogy-based creativity which can support claims from the knowledge-sharing literature for a direct route from knowledge diversity through analogical reasoning to novel idea production [5]. In 2013, Matta et al proposed a new technique to acquire and represent reusable design knowledge in a design project memory using product lifecycle management platforms [6].…”

Reasonable application of design knowledge can help improve the efficiency and quality of product design. Based on complex network theory, this study proposes a double push strategy of knowledge for product design. The proposal introduces the concept of attribute similarity and triangular fuzzy number and uses the theory and method of complex network to build the knowledge network model for product design that contains creative knowledge subnetwork and engineering knowledge subnetwork. This paper is to understand the structure and dynamics of the knowledge network model and to identify and predict knowledge nodes and knowledge groups strongly related to design intent in view of the scale-free network topology analysis theory. We develop a double push strategy of product design knowledge to implement the effective auxiliary function for product design process. Finally, a design case of antalgic pump is presented to demonstrate the practicability and validity of the strategy.

“…The ETO production environment means that not all building requirements are set before the client enters the design phase, and that the platform constraints become a part of the overall design requirements in the customisation process [2]. Constraints in platform-based building systems are defined with requirements for components, processes, and organisational relationships in the ETO production system [6]. Jallow et al [11] identified the importance of requirement management throughout the project lifecycle, with traceability of changes and transparency of requirements between stakeholders in paperless information systems for the effective coordination of design changes.…”

“…Here, industrialised house-building companies have organised the design into a standardised, flow-oriented process to support the platform-based production system [2,4,5], whereas creative design tasks have to fit into the standardisation of platform and processes. Although in recent years more attention has been given to customisation and the architectural design of industrial house-building platforms [1,6], the architectural expression of functional solutions and aesthetic values has diverged from production-oriented prefabrication [6]. Architectural expression has also struggled to establish and maintain architect-led prefabrication in systems with a high level of design automation [7].…”

Research on platform-based production systems for house-building has focused on production and manufacturing issues. The aim of this research is to explore how the architectural design process contributes to the industrialised house-building industry from the perspective of creative design work. It also aims to describe how constraints affect architectural design work in the engineer-to-order context, when using platform-based production systems. Architects with experience in using platform-based building systems with different degrees of constraints were interviewed regarding creative aspects of the design work. The interviews, together with documents relating to platform constraints, were then analysed from the perspective of artistic and engineering design theories. The results show the benefits and issues of using platform constraints, both with prefabrication of volumetric modules, as well as prefabricated slab and wall elements. The study highlights a major research gap by describing how architectural work, from both the creative artistic and engineering design perspectives, is affected by constraints in the building platform: (1) the architectural design work goes through a series of divergent and convergent processes where the divergent processes are explorative and the convergent processes are solution-oriented; and (2), there is a trade-off between creativity and efficiency in the design work. Open parameters for layout design are key to architectural creativity, while predefinition supports efficiency. The results also provide an understanding of the potential for creativity in artistic and engineering work tasks through different phases in design, and how they are related to constraints in the platform. The main limitation of the research is the number of interviewed architects who had different background experiences of working with different types of platform constraints. More studies are needed to confirm the observations and to understand how creativity and efficiency interact with divergent and convergent design processes.
