Glossary [Intellectual Output 1] Glossary as a method for reflection on complex research questions

Abstract

Globalization and digitization are strongly influencing the process of shaping the built environment. The latter is causing the new design tools to emerge faster than ever before in history, while the former is speeding up not only the development, but also the broad roll-out of more agile and interdisciplinary methodologies and work approaches. The design process is also becoming more and more inter- and trans-disciplinary. This is leading to the formation of design teams, in which team members bring together not only very different backgrounds and experiences but also different sets of vocabulary, which is one of the causes impeding flawless cooperation and a lack of common understanding within the team. These trends call for a shared platform of understanding and clarification of professional terms and concepts in order to make the design process not only efficient, but also fully relatable and well-founded. In today’s highly specialized world, professionals and specialists immerse themselves deeply into their fields, using a highly specialized, often hermetic vocabulary that is becoming less accessible and comprehensible to the wider public. The BuildDigiCraft project explores what concepts and notions researchers and participants use who are involved in design processes aimed at a high-quality built environment. The question is whether engineers, architects, planners, builders, designers, craftsmen, artists, environmental engineers and other experts, regardless of whether they deal with digitally-driven or traditionally-based methods and tools, are actually able to understand each other today using a mutually comprehensible linguistic corpus. Therefore, the aim of this intellectual output is to create a foundation for a shared understanding of the main concepts explored within the BuildDigiCraft project. The aim of the intellectual output Glossary is to create a common foundation for shared understanding of the main concepts explored within the BuildDigiCraft project. Unlike classical glossaries based on jointly developed vocabulary definitions, the BuildDigiCraft Glossary offers a method for reflection on complex research questions by applying a Glossary Matrix Tool for a temporal and scale-oriented exploration of terms, concepts and ideas used in the project.
