A Study of Process in Design: Curatorship, Cloud Intelligence and Applied Research

This paper first identifies some existing issues in the use of research, process and design within architecture. The concept of openness and the connection to innovation are then explored. Next, the potential of alternative processes by examining organizational systems based on social media and open source (permeable barrier) systems are identified. Extracting potentials from both existing case studies and from original experiments in design process, an alternative organization structure for an architectural design (formal/technical/social) is detailed.
