It presents an analysis of digital video recordings of a series of design meetings on the conceptual stages of a design project. The data were gathered from design meetings taking place as part of naturally occurring design practice, rather than, for example, being gathered through a staged experiment in which the conditions are highly controlled. The book disseminates information from researchers in different disciplines and different fields. |
