| Summary: | Introducing the emerging field of Computer Supported Collaborative Design (CSCD), this book successfully demonstrates that information technology as applied in architectural design has evolved into a paradigm of networking that supports group processes of design.<p>Peng presents a basic typology of networking upon which collaborative computing systems can be built and operated. This book is the first to deal with the subject matter as a whole in a single and coherent volume.<p>Resources and discussion related to four main topics are: <br>-- the recent experiments in system developments of computing communications for supporting collaborative design work, <br>-- the features of team working in architectural design and requirements for computer support, <br>-- new possibilities and opportunities for interactive architectural design as opened up by computing communications, <br>-- issues and problems of building CAD environments as teamware.
