his study examines the theoretical and instrumental contents concerning
the executive design that was considered as an operational and cognitive
apparatus aimed at planning, managing and guiding the on-site production and
construction processes. The executive design is defined as means of knowl-
edge and action aimed at modeling, anticipating and simulating the production
and construction reality. Its objective is to lead, guide and materialize the prac-
tical implementation according to the development of the technical devices
aimed both at structuring the contents, rules and design data, and at the fea-
sibility assessment. The study is defined as a sum of research and didactic
activities including the analysis relating both to the references concerning the
technological design culture and the executive design practices carried out
in the contemporary scenario. Furthermore, the study aims at developing a
fundamental theoretical system concerning the executive design, whereby to
proceed with the configuration of the layout related to the specific subject area
and with the in-depth analysis of educational aspects (with respect to the im-
partation of instrumental knowledge), procedural aspects (with respect to the
development of organizational and management processes) and notional and
regulatory aspects. The executive design develops the graphic and descriptive
contents with the purpose of representing an interaction and mediation tool
for operators, professionals, qualified workers, experts, especially in relation
to the production phase and the implementation phase; structuring, organizing
and managing information (regarding products and materials, systems, com-
ponents and technical elements, operators and their responsibilities); develop-
ing a decision making tool and an instrument that would determine the manag-
ing, prediction and rational organization procedures concerning the production
and construction phase; creating a communication tool, with the aid and the
application of scientific representation modes by using a symbolic and coded
language, for viewing and controlling the production and construction phase
