Today’s Green Building Market
Published in Jerry Yudelson, Marketing Green Buildings:, 2020
Integrated design often involves “charrettes”—intensive design exercises—with key stakeholders during programming or conceptual design, as well as an “eco-charrette” with key design team members at the outset of schematic design. These charrettes are often an economical and fast way to explore design options as a group and all at once, before settling on a preferred direction. In the charrettes, everyone gets to provide input on building design before design direction is “set in stone.” The owner or developer often gets to hear competing approaches to providing the space required and can be a more informed participant in the design process. For a good description of how this dialog might work, see articles by architect and LEED co-developer William Reed, AIA, on integrated design and regenerative design.10
Orchestrating Human–Systems Integration
Published in Guy André Boy, Human–Systems Integration, 2020
Around the 1960s and 1970s, participatory design was heavily practiced in Scandinavian countries and, more recently, reinvented in the HCI community (Gregory, 2003). Various participatory design methods have been developed (Schuler & Namioka, 1993; Greenbaum & Kyng, 1991). For example, they are focused on ethnographic field research, cooperative prototyping, and design by doing. Both integrated design and participatory design are called co-design, and even if they are not rooted in the same background – the former being rooted in loose coupling of requirements produced by various professions around the same product, and the latter in cooperative work including unions and social entities – I propose to merge them in this book. Participatory design increases cooperative work at design and development time, and integrated design reduces dependencies at the solution level.

All of these new approaches along with traditional sustainable design methods are challenging and require new design processes to help us think and design differently. The integrated design process – also known as concurrent design, or integrative design, or participatory design – is the key to unlocking the full potential of sustainable design. The stereotypical designer working alone and unleashing their design masterpieces is replaced by a team of designers from all disciplines, and all stakeholders who might be impacted by the design. In addition, the natural world itself is recognized as a stakeholder so that design decisions are understood within an environmental context. The all-important shared sustainability values are facilitated by the sustainable designers who organize and deliver design charrettes to collectively tackle the most pressing problems and the greatest opportunities on a design project.

Integrated design is performed by a multidisciplinary design team where all relevant disciplines are activated from the beginning of the design process. This process can be supported by collaborative design charrettes and workshops that facilitate the development of common goals, knowledge sharing and problem solving (Forgues & Lejeune, 2011). Collaboration and coordination are key to successfully overcoming challenges during the design process (Gagnon et al., 2018) but availability of suitable BPS tools is also required to provide consistent feedback on the design direction (Jrade & Jalaei, 2013; Oti & Tizani, 2015). In IDP, design teams are responsible for design optimization through iterative design processes. Design iterations are often aided by decision-making support tools such as quantitative assessment methods for sustainable building performance (Lützkendorf, 2018). BIM and IDP have transformed the traditional design process from a linear succession of fragmented task with minimal interaction between design teams, towards iterative and collaborative design processes. However, early-stage involvement of engineer specialists may be inhibited by structural challenges in the workflow between architects and engineers, such as fee structures, concerns about responsibility and liability, and architectural competition structures (Kanters & Horvat, 2012; Kovacic & Müller, 2014).
Integrated project team performance in early design stages – performance indicators influencing effectiveness in bridge design

Both in research and practice, the adoption of an integrated design approach in construction has been suggested to offer major benefits. Our review of the literature suggested that multidisciplinary constellations in construction are rarely viewed or evaluated as integrated teams. With the help of a combination of the existing framework, this paper addresses that gap by exposing professionals in construction to a self-evaluation questionnaire and providing a snap-shot of participants’ perception of team performance today. Using Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), supported with gap analysis, the results provide a reciprocal ranking of nine team performance indicators. Focusing on these indicators support the transition towards integration of professions in structural design.
