“…Although we cannot detail more cases here, from our investigations this case is not an atypical instance of discovery in design (Dogan & Nersessian, 2005). On the one hand, the Staatsgalerie case study aligns with accounts of design cognition that emphasize the centrality of sketches as the primary architectural representations in the process of discovery (Goel, 1995;Goldschmidt, 1991;Scho¨n, 1992). On the other hand, it provides an alternative to views that single out the serendipity of discovery processes in design and the role of unconstrained sketching while ignoring the more structured processes of discovery that are also evident in design.…”

“…D esign cognition studies emphasize the facilitating role of sketches in the process of creative discovery (Goel, 1995;Goldschmidt, 1991;Scho¨n, 1992). Some of these accounts describe the design process via sketching almost exclusively either in terms of 'serendipity' (Suwa, Gero, & Purcell, 2000) or of 'piecemeal evolution' of design ideas through localized changes (Maher & Tang, 2003).…”

This study examines the role of generic abstraction in architectural design, specifically how it facilitates exploration through formulation of a family of design schemes. We maintain that exploration in design, as it is in scientific discovery, is not solely based on serendipity, but that designers often strategically structure their explorations. We single out three instances of structuring through 'generic abstraction' in the case study of Staatsgalerie by Stirling. We hypothesize that generic abstractions help designers to mentally simulate different spatial components which lead to the generation of a novel design conceptualization. In the case at hand, the abstraction processes were sustained within a distributed cognitive system that consisted of one senior and two junior designers together with external representations in the form of sketches and diagrams.

“…While imagination is limited to only one image at a time, sketching allows the designer to visualise a number of representations at once and thus the designer would be able to combine or compare these representations. Although literature describes how sketching enhances creativity (G. Goldschmidt 1991;van der Lugt 2005) and presents the type of sketches that enhance creativity (Wodehouse et al 2013), it does not address the type of sketches which reflect the creativity of the designer best. The first research question addressed in this paper therefore aims to determine and assess such sketches.…”

(2015). Influence of sketch types on distributed design team work. CoDesign, 11(2), pp. 99-118. doi: 10.1080/15710882.2015.1054841 This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent Influence of Sketch Types on Distributed Design Team WorkProduct development is a collaborative activity more often than ever carried out by distributed design teams. It is critical to determine how sketches are used in such environments in order to improve the design process. Sketches produced by students participating in a collaborative design project of three European Universities are classified according to the intention of the designer when producing a sketch, the level of detail shown in the sketch and the phase when the sketch was produced. The adapted classification system used in this paper helps to analyse type of sketches with most variety of ideas. Furthermore, this paper reviews which type of sketches offer the most potential to be further developed.Results show that persuasive sketches offer the broadest range of ideas since they are produced as a combination of ideas from brainstorming sessions. Shared sketches help to achieve consensus in decision making since the sketches are most likely to be produced by the entire group rather than individually.

“…Thirdly, sketching produces a wide collection of interrelated drawings, while CAD systems construct a single model isolated from the global process. Moreover, the sketch is not simply an externalisation of a supposed designer's mental image; it is also a heuristic field of exploration in which the designer discovers new interpretations of his own drawing, opening up a path to new perspectives for resolution [11,23].…”

Abstract. The domain we address is creative design, mainly architecture. Rooted in a multidisciplinary approach as well as a deep understanding of architecture and design, our method aims at proposing adapted mixed reality solutions to support two crucial activities : sketch-based preliminary design and distant synchronous collaboration in design. This chapter provides a summary of our work on a mixed-reality device, based on a drawing table (the Virtual Desktop), designed specifically to address real-life/business-focused issues. We explain our methodology, describe the two supported activities and the related users' needs, detail the technological solution we have developed and present the main results of multiple evaluation sessions. We conclude with a discussion of the usefulness of a profession-centered methodology and the relevance of mixed reality to support creative design activities.
