Abstract
The design of buildings is complex and requires the support of multi-disciplinary design teams. Therefore a supportive design approach has been developed: Integral Design. Integral Design combines an engineering design method with an innovation strategy, to support innovative integrated design between engineering and architecture. The innovative Concept-Knowledge theory by Hatchuel and Weil is used in combination with the Integral Design method. This combination enables to illustrate different processes within the conceptual design phase of multi-disciplinary building design. It also makes it possible to see the effect of so called C-constructs to stimulate the generation of concepts. The approach is tested in workshops with students and professionals and the results indicate a positive effect on the number of generated sub solutions. Further research is needed to determine the qualitative effects of the design approach
