Knowledge informed decision making in the building lifecycle : an application to the design of a water drainage system (2007)
Journal Article
Boddy, S., Rezgui, Y., Wetherill, M., & Cooper, G. (2007). Knowledge informed decision making in the building lifecycle : an application to the design of a water drainage system. Automation in Construction, 16(5), 596-606. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.autcon.2006.10.001

Critical decisions which influence the sustainability of a construction project are made in a pressurised, time-critical environment. These decisions must be supported and informed by knowledge resources, with the reasons for these decisions feeding...

Tracking decision-making during architectural design (2005)
Journal Article
Cooper, G., Cerulli, C., Lawson, B., Peng, C., & Rezgui, Y. (2005). Tracking decision-making during architectural design

There is a powerful cocktail of circumstances governing the way decisions are made during the architectural design process of a building project. There is considerable potential for misunderstandings, inappropriate changes, change which give rise to... Read More about Tracking decision-making during architectural design.
