Constitution of Design Management System for Curtain Wall

Abstract: The curtain wall design process of Korea can be mainly divided into Basic DWG phase performed in architectural design phase and Shop DWG phase performed in the curtain wall design phase. The designing in such process (the process of going over to Shop from Basic) is being performed mainly by the outcome. So it is difficult to communicate between subjects because the decision making or flow of information gets accomplished as one-way. Especially, because the curtain wall designing accomplished in the architectural design process gets performed without reflecting the engineering technology, it causes many problems in the design phase such as change of design or delay of decision making. In order to make an improvement on such problem, it is estimated that the existing one-way designing can be improved into the one based on cooperation by enabling the exchange of decision making details between concerned parties in the curtain wall design phase in this study and ultimately proposes a curtain wall design management system which enables generation and alteration of information on curtain wall products, information gathering and sharing of information, etc by materializing
