For the purpose of satisfying wide varieties of people’s needs, wants and desires, design problems have become more and more complex, time-consuming and cost lots of money. With the idea of concurrent design, it should be a wise way to have all people with necessary specialties to collaboratively work out design solutions together simultaneously. However, it seems difficult, if not impossible, to get many specialists physically together to do the design work at the same time and at the same place. The purpose of this study is tried to investigate the construction of a Web-based Co-design system. It takes the advantage of world wide web(www) technology and create a collaborative design workplace, to make it easier for designers virtually work together from different design sites. This study examined the Web-based collaborative design system through intensive observation and interview with design specialists and testing with prospective users. A simulative software named “Face 2 Face” was created through the experimental system. After the experiments, the results of the study obviously show that “Face 2 Face” is much more superior than the current system. The results could be applied to the configuration of appropriate user interfaces and eventually set up a web-based collaborative design system.
