Review: In the ‘Open Design’ approach any stakeholder who has an interest in the outcome of the design process is allowed to influence the design. In Open Design experts and laymen are treated equally, and one can incorporate the preferences of a multitude of players into the designs of complex buildings projects or residential areas using computer models and computer graphics. This book, for students of architecture, aims to assist in developing the three skills that are essential: numerical computer modelling; geometrical modelling; and managing open-ended projects. This book explains the Open Design process and its implementation. The theory is reinforced by case studies throughout.
