Abstract/Contents

Abstract: To achieve environmental, economical, and equitable goals, sustainable designers need to ask and answer many questions. To answer each question they often need to ask other questions. A "narrative" of interrelated questions and answers emerges as the design process progresses. In this paper, we illustrate this narrative pattern using a test case, and observe that sustainable designers find it difficult to quickly and accurately communicate and integrate these narratives. We describe a formalism called "Narratives" that we are designing to help human designers blend their creative and collaborative power with the communicating and integrating power of computers and building information modeling to better communicate, integrate, and thus optimize their design information and processes.
