ABSTRACT
Nowadays, numerous architecture projects require different actors who are more and more remotely located and work together on the elaboration of a common project. The inputs of these actors of design need to be integrated by taking into account the lifecycle of the building: the particular interest is thus given to a “transversal” dimension of the design. This can be achieved by including, in the early stages of process, constraints and parameters that are usually managed much later in traditional organizations (Kusiak 1993), (Alting 1993).
