DESCRIPTION
Open Design refers to a stakeholder-oriented approach in Architecture, Urban Planning, and Project Management, as developed by the Chair of Computer Aided Design and Planning of Delft University of Technology. This edition collects the following three volumes on Open Design: "Open Design, a Collaborative Approach to Architecture", offering concepts and methods to combine technical and social optimization into one integrated design process; "Open Design and Construct Management, Managing Complex Construction Projects through Synthesis of Stakeholder Interests", offering a new approach to managing complexity by distinguishing best management practices for complex projects involving considerable uncertainty and risk and best practices for straightforward predictable projects; and "Open Design, Cases and Exercises", enabling the reader to become familiar with the decision-oriented design tools of Open Design, and their application in practice.

EDITORIAL REVIEW
"As an engineer, I have never seen such a good book on the subject. Apart of some general methods and examples, it contains such jewels as Cassandra information, with very important analysis."
