ABSTRACT

This paper presents a collection of web based technologies designed to enhance the collaboration between architecture, engineering, construction, and owner (AECO) project teams. With advances in digital design, documentation, and communication methods in recent years – a need has developed for better integration of the often disparate digital workflows of each team. By utilizing web based frameworks and custom software development, bespoke applications may be developed that enable project teams to rapidly share and discuss design intent. The nature of the projects discussed will center around two common themes: rapid communication between individuals operating in different disciplines of a collaborative project and increasing the design space able to be studied during the design phases of a project. The case studies will highlight how utilizing web technologies may alter the stream of information across disciplines, changing how we collaboratively design and engineer buildings.
