“…While Hutchins's and Nersessian's contextual investigations discussed above were ethnographic in nature (Hutchins 1995, Nersessian et al 2003a,b, Nersessian 2006, the analysis presented here uses data from a study of two architectural meetings and builds upon an earlier analysis of these meetings that focused on the role values play in the design discourse (Le Dantec and Do 2009). Both design meetings were video recorded from several angles, providing wide views of wholegroup dynamics that enabled analysis of gesture and body language, as well as a topdown view of the table that permitted the observation of drawings, sketches and tools that were used during the meeting.…”

“…Over a roughly similar time period, design researchers have moved away from the designer as an individual font of creativity (Lawson 1990, Rowe 1995, to designer as social member in a collaborative endeavour (Brereton et al 1996, Cross and Cross 1996, Le Dantec and Do 2009). Brereton in particular pointed out the role of social negotiation in the design process and attributed how well the design functions to the success with which the team was able to negotiate the collaborative design process (Brereton et al 1996).…”

Video and transcripts of two architectural design meetings are presented in an analysis of a specific design process. The focus of the analysis presented here is the social and cultural aspects of cognition in design. The argument begins with a discussion of the parallels in design studies and cognitive science as each has begun to consider the importance of environmental influences on how we design and how we think. By applying three situated frameworks to understand the situated nature of design meetings, the analysis shows that notions of social creation and cultural cognition are complementary and necessary for a holistic understanding of the collaborative design process.

“…For this reason, Grounded Theory has been used to study multidisciplinary design processes in several design disciplines (Jagodzinski et al 2000;Lee and Cassidy 2007;Le Dantec and Do, 2009;Geber and Carroll 2011 p o s t -p r i n t v e r s i o n M a r c o M a s o n interviews) was subject to approval by a committee 4 on the use of humans as experimental subjects. To obtain informed consent from interviewees (appendix C), I provided the participants with a detailed explanation of the research, its purposes and procedures, as well as the participant's rights regarding anonymity, confidentiality, and withdrawal from the study.…”

Prototyping practices supporting interdisciplinary collaboration in digital media design for museums

In the museum world, innovative design practices often result from collaborations spanning disciplinary borders within the museum. This article focuses on prototyping as one of the fundamental methods to support design activity, and to foster collaboration amongst members of the design team. In particular, the article aims to explore how prototypes support design practice by integrating knowledge coming from different team members' expertise. Using a qualitative research approach, this paper explores the use of prototypes in five digital media projects in museums. The qualitative data collected have been analysed and discussed through the lenses of the SocializationExternalization-Combination-Internalization (SECI) knowledge management framework. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of how and why team members can take advantage of prototypes to create, transfer, combine, and embody knowledge.

“…Individual team members can spread both positive and negative emotions throughout the entire team (Kelly & Barsade, 2001) and their belief structures play a role in the development of shared cognition (Klimoski & Mohammed, 1994). Additionally, nonverbal communication has been shown to have an impact in design team interactions (Le Dantec & Do, 2009). Such aspects have become even more important with the spread and effectiveness of cross-functional teams (Parker, 2003).…”
