Abstract
The chapter presents the concept of Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) and discusses what the current and possible applications are in relation to the AEC, design and design-linked industries. The chapter first introduces theoretical aspects of traditional organisations and then develops the ones behind the creation of automated, computer-based ones. Consensus mechanisms and smart-contracts integration are also presented in conjunction with diffused systems of DAOs’ regulation. Scenarios are presented where DAOs are applied as a coordination tool for competitive and collaborative use within the design field. A comparison table of Ethereum-based DAOs as well as reflections on the pros and cons of DAOs applications are provided to better frame what the current boundaries are of a technology that is also expanding its range of utilisation thanks to the interest of town councils and institutions.
