This paper explores the role of frameworks and conventions in design computation workflows for collaboration on the development of design, structure and detailed fabrication within a visual scripting environment. The frameworks were developed in the computational team Dsearch of the architectural practice White Arkitekter and the engineering practice of structure, and was used in the part-time 12-month design and build workshop Textile Hybrids at the HafenCity Universität Hamburg. During the workshop, the framework was further developed to facilitate iterative design/analysis studies between design models in a visual scripting environment and a FEM simulation Environment through cloud-based data exchange protocols. The authors regard this continuous re-development of workflow frameworks during design developmentas emergent, and regard this as a valuable and potential mode of development also for architecture and engineering practice. This is shown in the individual practices of the authors, where additional layers have been added.
