ARC Discovery Grant ‘Acts of electronic negotiation: Overcoming communication barriers to transdisciplinary innovation in design’
2006 – 2008
Chief investigators: Mark Burry, Lin Padgham, Mike Xie, APD: Andrew Burrow
Project summary
Improved collaboration between the diverse contributors to design in the construction industry is urgently needed to reduce waste, streamline production and improve performance. It is also a key to better and more advanced design. The quality of human to human interaction in computer mediated environments is critical to the occurrence of innovation between design disciplines. This project will create a pool of highly qualified personnel in this area in Australia, including participating designers introduced to novel empowering approaches to network communication. It will develop and apply knowledge from other disciplines to developing tools for the design community
