Multidisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Collaboration in Nature-Based Design of Sustainable Architecture and Urbanism

Multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary collaboration (TDC) continue to address complex societal problems such as sustainable development, global environmental change, public health challenges. Nature-based design (NBD) methods including biomimicry, biomorphism, biophilia, bio-utilization zoomorphism are essential for the of built environment (SBE). Currently, there is no framework (TCF) support NBD SBE. The first step fill this gap through systematically exploring applications multidisciplinary research (MDR) in building by conducting a case study on challenges MDR application SBE Faculty Engineering Science at University Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK. systematic literature review survey results academics showed lack (TDR) due limited communication between disciplines. findings academia Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) industry advance innovations indicated that TCF needed knowledge exchange within with reducing negative impacts industry. Findings from current future will be used develop test general then aligned RIBA Plan Work.
