The group-oriented multiuser workspace is a design environment where the collaborative work progresses smoothly between participants in the architecture design process. The design in the multiuser workspace is processed while participants interact with each other. This paper describes the research project concerning the multiuser workspace with interuniversity collaboration, shows the possibility of the multiuser workspace and investigates its problems.
