Collaborative-design is very important production method in architectural design consulting enterprises. With the latest development of information technology, digital workflow management gradually getting more smoothly integrated into the collaborative design process, which will improve the production level in design enterprises. In East China Architectural Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd, with the knowledge and practices gain from Housing and Urban-Rural Development Ministry research "replacing blueprints with whiteprints strategy" and ECADI collaborative design digital management platform, achieve successful results in "replacing blueprints with whiteprints", even in the "paperless office". It proved that all kinds of management strategies like collaborative design standards, quality management, project management and knowledge management in architectural engineering designs & survey enterprises, can be greatly enhanced by the entire workflow digital management.

Shendu building which is owned by Shanghai Xiandai Architectural Design Group got the green building design mark in 2012. In 2013, many sub-companies in Xiandai Design Group moved into this building. Since then, the operational phase of the building's life cycle began. According to the situation in mainland, this project will choose the property management company to carry out the FM task. How to utilize the information technology to do the facilities management is a very important task to obtain the three star green mark. This research will be demonstrated in a number of papers serialized form different research stage. This paper here mainly draw conclusions based on the investigation and demand analysis, meanwhile to support for the next phases of this research.

The revolution of IT (Information Technology) and software for AEC industry have not changed the traditional constructing management patterns, and construction efficiency has not been improved sharply.According to the results, this paper explores design management patterns based on BIM (Building Information Modeling), and it refers to the subject "exploring the key coordination and management digital technologies based on the EXPO group buildings", and the Headquarters Bases for Central Government Owned Enterprises within the EXPO site is used as a case.After analyzing the features of complex group buildings and BIM technology, design management patterns based on BIM are explored.

BIM has been widely used in the design and construction phases, and the value of the BIM technology is widely recognized by everyone. But in the facilities management field, BIM is still in the initial stage. Based on the application and practice of the operation management platform of ShenDu mansion, a process of costuming, deploying, implementing local operation and maintenance platform is summed up by Shanghai Xian Dai Architectural Design (Group) Co., Ltd. All kinds of key technologies of the platform are as follows, application data exchange standards, developing equipment classification and coding, operation and maintenance interacted with BIM model. Then, the effectiveness of the platform is described due to the operation management platform of ShenDu mansion.

Combined with the development of digital technology in current architectural design group and the trend of global low-carbon buildings, this study trys to explore a method of how to do the design of low-carbon architecture, which is based on the research of BEDZED neighborhood in UK and the utilize of related software.

This paper presents development and application status of Whiteprint and Blueprint, and analysis the necessity and feasibility of Whiteprint replacing Blueprint.After exploring it in the application of architectural design, problems and solutions were proposed.
