Key Points

To evaluate the barriers architectural designers face when identifying and utilizing open geospatial information and assess the need for facilitation across multi-stakeholder workflows.
Classified required geospatial data types, geographic scope, and accuracy thresholds across distinct architectural design objectives.
Surveyed existing geospatial platforms and analyzed architectural design competitions to observe how variations in data provision and interpretation influence design proposals.
Existing geospatial systems demonstrate substantial variability in data availability and accuracy depending on design intent, leaving essential architectural parameters unavailable.
Differences in data provision and interpretation directly altered design outcomes in architectural competitions, showing that translating user needs into technical geospatial criteria requires coordinated facilitation.
