The tool accommodates the ability to work collaboratively in multiple physical and temporal spaces. Our interests are in addressing both practical challenges of group work, particularly when members have different schedules (or exist in different time zones), as well as intellectual challenges or group work, involving the decision making process across a non-hierarchical collaborative structure. As design changes are made and spaces are articulated by various members at different times, the new grasshopper geometry is saved into a new data tree path and shared through Flux. The design process of each member is visually documented, such that previous iterations and processes display a timestamp gradient of transparency. The next group member who works on the file (or one working simultaneously in a different space) can select to view older versions as well as newer versions. Changes made are transparent, and thus decisions can be seen, understood and reconsidered by other members of the group. Because the tool creates a log of design iterations, the process feels like a dialogue - there is a transparent feedback loop between members and design decisions. At times, a previous version of a model can be restored and elements can be reincorporated into the newest iteration. As each new iteration is logged, workflow and design evolution can also be studied, creating yet another feedback loop in the design of collaborative structures.
