Abstract

In this paper the information environment of design teams is discussed because of the use of Internet based Project websites (PWS) to improve the information exchange within design teams. Because design teams heavenly depend on informal information exchange and PWS is a tool for formalising information exchange the question is how a PWS can be used effectively within deign environments. To get a more holistic view on the information environment of design teams Davenport’s model for Information ecology is used (Davenport, 1997). The design organisation of DGW&T of the Ministry of Defense in the Netherlands is described by using the different aspects of information ecology. Finally informal information exchange processes within DGW&T are discussed as well as possibilities for improvement of information handling.
