Abstract: Complexity and multi-disciplinary represent the challenge that the design and construction of sustainable buildings have to face. The nature and quantity of information needed are further considerations which lead to re-thinking the whole design process. The architect alone cannot have all the skills required, so he/she should be able to rely on other specialized professionals. In some European countries, environmental consultancy—which deals with ecology matters—is becoming more and more crucial for the design of a successful building. Taking into account two British consultancy companies—investigated as case studies—this paper looks at the way the design process related to complex projects is managed, and at the effects on the architectural sector.
