Roadmap for the Integrated Design Process

by  Busby, Perkins + Will;   Stantec Consulting

Starting with the premise that the integrated design process is necessary to the creation of high-performance buildings, this report approaches the process in two ways. The first part of the report is a summary of integrated design, offering those new to the process an overview of its objectives and benefits. The second part delves deeper, offering more detailed information for each phase of the integrated design process, including the possible roles and responsibilities of each design team member. This part of the guide offers tips for successful charrettes and each phase of the design process. Equally readable by novices and experienced integrated design practitioners, this report can help design teams align their expectations for the design process and provide needed guidance along the way.
