Co-design support methods and tools in the building design process

The results highlight the importance of methods and tools, and that the main methodological issue in co-design is to promote a common language in the design, so that both users and design professionals can understand and express themselves. They also highlight that co-design is important in the initial stages of the design process, where the methods and tools are used. This study contributes to enriching the available literature on the subject and to disseminating it among architects, designers and researchers, facilitating communication between users and the professional team in the design process, thus improving the quality of the process and the designed building.
