N2 - Effective design collaboration during the early design stages in architecture is a condition for effective overall design and construction. This can be facilitated, supported and promoted through visual technological means. Collaborative design protocols implemented within the engineering fields (electrical and mechanical) can be adapted to the built environment design with emerging augmented reality technologies being the enablers for that shift. Architectural design requires a strongly visual approach to communication and means through which multiple disciples can collaborate effectively. Therefore, the aim of the research is to investigate principles and protocols to assist early design stage collaborative design among multidisciplinary teams, through visual and tactile user interfaces. This paper explores the current paradigm in AEC (architecture, engineering and construction), design collaboration and multidisciplinary group dynamics during the early design and conceptual stages in architecture. Afterwards, a design protocol is suggested, literature review regarding collaborative design and design protocols is summarized and further research is proposed on optimization and standardization of early design collaborative design in AEC.
