A framework for design information management system for architects

Architectural design solutions are outcomes of information manipulations by designers. An activity in the architectural design process may require inputs from other phases. The architect must be able to keep track of the amount of information required to accomplish a design task, which is a difficul...

An activity in the architectural design process may require inputs from other phases. The architect must be able to keep track of the amount of information required to accomplish a design task, which is a difficult task to perform. A design information management system is required to assist designers with new ways of managing and handling design projects.
