ABSTRACT
It would be impossible to discuss the many ways that designers are collaborating without addressing the changing technologies that facilitate these efforts and, simultaneously, require ever-more-intense interrelationships among agents. This impact is dramatically altering workflows, from conception and representation to analysis, evaluation, production, and fabrication. Moreover, technology is changing the nature of design practice by restructuring the relationships between designers, fabricators, consultants, clients, and stakeholders at the same time that increasing project demands are spawning practices with specialized technical capabilities.
