Title: STUDY ON THE CAMPUS DESIGN CONSENSUS IN A "MASTER ARCHITECT DESIGN COORDINATION SYSTEM" : Communication between the "master architect" and the "block architect" in an environmental design process
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to make clear the campus design consensus between Master Architect (MA) and Block Architect(BA) as part of an Environmental Design Process by using the Master Architect Design Coordination System. To understand this subject, we analyzed discrepancies in judgment between MA and BA in communication, using the record of the design meetings proceedings. As a result, we found the following background to the final consensus: 1) The MA uses the Social power, stemming from special design skills and collected information, to settle differences. 2)The Social Relations Theory applies to settling of differences between MA and BA. 3) There is a consensus cycle that consists of three stages: consensus in conception, consensus in architectural form, and consensus in actual designing.
