Abstract

Many studies stress cooperation between architects and clients in which knowledge and experiences are shared in order to reach synergy. Thus, a process approach is required to make the latent knowledge and intention of the client explicit, efficiently connecting him/her to the architect. However, little attention has been given to socio-technical features of this relationship within architectural design process. This study aims to present an approach with collaborative, communicative and innovative features, which develop client involvement, information sharing and design-supporting tools within architectural design process. A literature survey has been conducted to investigate the characteristics of the communication process, architectural design process, design-supporting tools and means, method and concept of virtualization in design and communication. Finally, this study concluded by integrating the concept of virtualization and virtual reality tools into communication and design process. A new design approach will be generated, which will satisfy both architect and client, as well as design outcomes.
