TL;DR: The epistemic role of objects is highlighted, using observations of knowledge work on an architectural design project to show how, in this setting, visual representations are characterized by a `lack' or incompleteness that precipitates unfolding.

TL;DR: Findings are presented from three research projects that made use of some of these techniques at various stages of the process: for collaborative working during concept design stage, for design development and marketing in the house building sector, and for the modeling of design details during the construction stage.

TL;DR: In this article, a review explores relationships between construction safety and digital design practices with the aim of fostering and directing further research, and suggests new kinds of interventions, such as the development of tools and processes for using digital models to promote mindfulness through multi-party collaboration on safety.

TL;DR: It is argued that the benefit of the DQI is a ‘tool for thinking’, rather than an absolute measure, because it has the potential to capture lessons from current building design for strategic future use as well as initiate, represent and inform discussions involving designers', clients', producers' and end-users' perceptions on the tangible and intangible aspects of possibilities within live design projects.

TL;DR: Three different approaches to the creation of models are identified and described and consideration is given to the potential of both advances in computer-aided design and the emerging standards for data exchange to facilitate an integrated use of virtual reality.
