During the design and engineering rocess of buildings and structures an enormous amount of data and information is roduced. Logic, knowledge and ex erience is em loyed during this rocess by the designers and engineers to finally come to the design result. Because this information can not be fully recorded by software, a huge amount of information and a otential resource for further investigation in the design rocess is lost. One reason among others being that the current systems are not able to su ort the sub rocesses in the design rocess and hold the information stack consisting of data, information, knowledge, etc. If a com utational infrastructure would be available which would be able to hold and record the stack roduced, an im ortant o ortunity exists for learning from this information and roducing better designs, manage buildings better, etc.

(…)

Therefore, a new infrastructure has been proposed under the name 'NetworkedDesign' which includes new concepts unavailable in previous studied paradigms, such as multi-directionality, solving by choice, meta-process and meta-knowledge, as well as a large number of previously existing concepts in a novel combination of a single infrastructure. A first implementation of this infrastructure in the form of a prototype demonstration design system has been used to demonstrate the concepts of the infrastructure in a variety of situations. This infrastructure opens new opportunities for the application of computation in practice as well as new areas of research previously largely unrelated to the building industry such as collective intelligence, computational intelligence and embedded design intelligence. In the practice of the application of computation in structural design and engineering this infrastructure will open new opportunities for new design tools, such as StructuralComponents (Rolvink et al., 2010), as well as partial resolution of the issues with interoperability.
