4.1. Introduction

As explained in the collective work by Bot and Vitali (2011), the design world is currently undergoing a paradigm shift. This shift is because of advancements made in techniques and science rather than a leap within a continuity. Currently, building information modeling (BIM) is the only consequence of this paradigm shift, facilitated partly by the rapid arrival of new technologies and more powerful tools (design tools but also data, graph-oriented databases, ontologies, etc.). This context imposes but allows for the mobilization of holistic knowledge when the designer joins, brings together, combines, arranges and “synthesizes” their design activity (Bot and Vitali 2011). In their work, Micaelli et al. (2011) discuss three paradigms of the design domain. In contrast to the design paradigms that are “artisanal and empirical”, the key elements of the “abstract design” paradigm are as follows:

  • the notion of model and modeler is still central: designing is modeling;
  • the coproduction, by multidisciplinary teams, and the circulation of models between teams, whether present or remote, are emphasized;
  • the distribution ...
