To support a characterized decision-making process in architectural design collaboration by even partners, we developed an asynchronous discussion tool with a decision-support function. We conducted a practical experiment in which a three-member design team discussed individual proposals with the developed tool and held face-to-face design meetings in the early phase of design collaboration, and then evaluated the developed tool. As a result of quantitative analysis of the discussion protocol in design meetings and the log on the developed tool, differences between experimental teams and control teams became clear. Experimental teams had the following three tendencies: 1. An idea was adopted by team members without discussion about its adoption in a design meeting. 2. An idea that obtained the agreement of a sufficient number of members on the developed tool was decided to be adopted in a design meeting and was actually adopted in team member’s proposals. 3. Few members considered that there was insufficient time for a design meeting. In conclusion, it was possible the development tool supported part of the decision making in the early phase of design collaboration.
