Abstract:
This research investigates and studies recorded collaborative design sessions in the context of climate-acclimatized buildings, employing a meticulous linkograph methodology (Kan & Gero, 2008). The methodology involves rigorous transcript analysis, iterative design sessions, and two distinct phases of linkograph construction (Kan & Gero, 2008). The first phase results in 70 links among 28 design moves, while the refined second phase produces 62 moves with 276 links (Kan & Gero, 2008). Metrics and analysis reveal critical design elements and trends, facilitating a comparative study of collaborative approaches (Kan & Gero, 2008). The findings advance our comprehension of collaborative decision-making in climate-acclimatized building design, offering invaluable insights for sustainable architectural solutions (Kan & Gero, 2008). This method, characterised by precision and collaborative rigour, contributes significantly to the evolving design space (Kan & Gero, 2008).
