ABSTRACT
In Architecture and Construction sector a large
amount of information is created in different
types of media: written documents, images, pho-
tos, sketches, drawings…, which are in general
hard to index and find. On the other hand, most
of the times this information resides in the people
related to this discipline and the transmission of
this knowledge becomes informal rather than for-
mal. This context makes more difficult the task of
tracking, sharing and exchanging not only knowl-
edge but also information. For these reasons, non-
expert designers and students spend a lot of time
searching large number of cases similar to their
actual situation, to get cues and suggestions on
how to proceed.
