On the Development of Architectural Collaborative Design System for Internet PCs

(1)作为研究的基础，研究者首先讨论了一个观察设计信息流动的建筑设计协作过程模型，其次讨论了现有沟通工具的内部限制和能力，最后讨论了待开发系统的条件和目标。(2)研究人员开发了群组工作CAD的原型：GW-CAD，它允许远程的设计人员通过每台PC上显示的CAD窗口进行并发同步设计通信，相互操纵和交换CAD模型，并控制共享CAD窗口的视图参数。(3)研究者开发了一种基于web的异步设计交流系统原型：GW-Notebook，并报告了该系统的特点和使用过程。他们还通过观察案例项目的过程和参与者对系统使用问卷的回答来评估系统的能力。(4)研究人员还开发了两个可以与GW-Notebo集成的系统：Visual Pinup Board和Design Proposal Viewer。前支持设计师在显示设计信息的网页上自由讨论翻译寡妇的位置。后者支持设计师通过简单地跟踪代表设计历史的树形图，从基于web的存档中检索设计信息。(5)研究者提出了一个建筑设计工作室的实验方案，利用GW-Notebook的各种实用工具作为设计交流基地，激发设计交流和创造性设计思维。通过观察熊本大学少年工作室工作坊的实验，研究者认为该方案为活跃的设计工作室提供了前瞻性的条件。(6)研究人员已成功开发出一套稳定的建筑协同设计系统，可在互联网pc上使用，并计划将开发的系统分发给有意申请工作或设计教育的人。少

(1) As the based for studies investigators discussed, firstly, a process model of architectural design collaboration that observed flows of design informaiton, secondly, internal limit and capability of present communication tools, and finally conditions and goals of the system to be development.(2) Investigators developed a prototype of group work CAD : GW-CAD that allow designers in remote locations make concurrent synchronous design communication through CAD windows displayed on each PC, maniptulating and exchanging CAD models among each other, and controlling view parameters of shared CAD window.(3) Investigators developed a prototype of web based asynchronous design communication system : GW-Notebook, and reported features of the system and procedure of its usage. They also assessed its capability by observing a process of case project and answers of participants to questionnaire on the system use.(4) Investigators also developed two systems that could be integrated with GW-Notebo … More ok in the next step : Visual Pinup Board, and Design Proposal Viewer. The former support designers discuss freely translating locations of widows on a web page that displays design information. The latter support designers retrieve design information from web based archive by simply tracing a tree-shaped diagram that represent a design history.(5) Investigators proposed an experimental program of architectural design studio that could stimulate design communication and creative design thinking by making use of various utilities of GW-Notebook as design communication base. Observing the experiment made in the junior studio workshop at Kumamoto University, investigators discussed that the proposed program had provided prospective conditions for active design studio.(6) The investigators have succeeded in developing a stable systems of architectural collaborative design that can be used with internet PCs, and is planning to distribute the developed system to those who intend to apply for their work or design deucation.
