Use an interactive collaboration between designers, builders and craftspeople.
If a design is not allowed to adapt to the evo- lutionary opportunities of its context during construction, it will be destined to be profoundly limited. Yet a design-build approach can introduce uncertainty, complexity and cost into the construction process.
Therefore:
Incorporate a design-build methodology into construction processes. Use an interactive collaboration between designers, build- ers and craftspeople, looking on site for.
Some of the most beautiful and successful buildings in the world have been produced from a design-build process. The great medieval cathedrals are a case in point: often construction commenced with little more than a floorplan and an elevation of a sin- gle bay, drawn with ink on plaster. Many hundreds of shop drawings, models and mockups followed, and the beautiful results emerged out of that careful evolutionary process.
At the same time, design-build approaches can be expensive if they are not managed well. The critical issue is the governance of changes, in such a way that any change does not introduce additional cost and/ or time, over what has been planned. This can be done if managed carefully.
When seeking the richest quality of Biophilic Urbanism and high quality buildings, develop the construction process to be able to evolve and respond to context as it proceeds.
Then use Community Mockups to judge the results of design changes in their actual contexts.
