towards sustainability goals. The derived framework could promote the information system's enabled sustainable goals by combining the use of universal design principles and the concept of open innovation. A requirement engineering model was also proposed that was interoperable within the three
A dynamic information system for design applied to the construction context
- Royal Institute of Technology
, 1998
"... In this paper we discuss the requirements for an information system for design and outline a prototype that tests these principles in the context of building design. Information systems can be characterised as static or dynamic concerning the definition of classes in the model schema, and concerning ..."

An information system for routine design can be closed in both respects, while an information system for innovative design must be open in these respects. The BAS•CAAD information system, presented in this paper, is a dynamic information system for design, built

Design Develop Implement (DDI)-A Team-Based Approach to Learning Design
"... In complex organisations like universities, the ways in which faculties and disciplines integrate technology into their curricula is far from consistent, with the quality of the outcomes varying considerably. The reasons for this include the diverse learning and teaching needs in faculties, the var ..."

The aim of this paper is to introduce a learning design process, namely the Design, Develop, Implement (DDI), which Macquarie University piloted to support curriculum development underpinned by design thinking principles. This paper openly addresses the challenges and successes
Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

in this text. A social structure is transformed when there is simultaneous and systemic transformation of relationships of production/consumption, power, and experience, ultimately leading to a transformation of culture. Information networks play a substantial role in the set of transformations I have analysed

, they are often based on the assumption that information (e.g., information on individual energy consumption) causes behavior change, or a change in awareness and attitude that then changes behavior. Second, PT approaches assume that the designer of the system starts from objective criteria for "sustainable
Management of Information Exchange Strategies for Designing Green
"... Abstract Few years prior, the idea of plants on roof, green tops or facades and ecological buildings, the idea of sustainability would have been premature. While the concept of healthy buildings has long been championed and practiced, it is increasingly in common in some countries, but it is still ..."
