ABSTRACT

This paper starts with an analysis of current collaborative practices in the construction industry. It takes both the social and organisational aspects of projects into consideration before a futuristic co-located design scenario is presented. This scenario illustrates the vision of the CoSpaces project concerning how the technologies could enhance collaboration in the construction industry in the future. Then, the technologies required for its implementation are discussed as well as the way in which they need to be combined in order to offer an adequate working environment to the user.
