“…Having a graduate degree and experience of using whiteboards prepandemic were found to be effective factors that caused participants to think that they would continue to work remotely when the pandemic ended. In previous studies (Maher, 2006;Gul, 2011), it was observed that newly learned tools caused some difficulties in remote design collaboration sessions. Through these outcomes, it can be observed that early users of these platforms have more self-confidence to continue remotely communicating with co-workers.…”

“…In recent years, product designers, customers, suppliers, and clients have become even closer and connected. Moreover, working together has become crucial in the design process (Maciver & Malins, 2016). However, as stated by Rittel, most of the design problems are wicked.…”

“…These features have made it problematic to model a framework that adequately defines and generalises the process, because each design case is unique. In addition, the teams in the design work are unique and random and because the design itself is unpredictable, collaborative work needs structuring (Maciver et al, 2016 According to Maciver et al (2016), one trend of collaboration in the design process is global connectivity through instant communication, which has created a diverse network of designers, customers, users, clients, engineers, researchers, manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and others, both inside and outside the design process. With the increasing globalisation and specialisation in design, collaboration between partners in distant locations has become crucial (Kolarevic, Schmitt, Hirscberg, Kurmann, & Johnson, 2000).…”

At the beginning of 2020, the virus called "COVID-19" spread rapidly all over the world. One of the measures taken to prevent the spread of the virus was social distance rules. Hence, employees and students had to work remotely using communication tools. In the design field, professionals and students working remotely during the pandemic, were limited to the possibilities of the communication tools they used while developing the design process, and they found ways to use these facilities in line with their practice routines in the physical environment. In this article, the tools used during the collaborative design processes conducted remotely during the pandemic were examined with a questionnaire study. Even though designers worked digitally due to the necessity to continue their work in this period, it was observed that they had positive experiences with the special tools they used. However, the transfer of tacit knowledge to design projects in the collaborative design process has been restricted in the collaborative design process due to limited spatial communication. While many designers were discovering the tailored tools for this purpose they could already use, many improvements were suggested through the unaware needs became explicit ones.

“…A computationally creative communication is hence when such a method is automated. There are numerous studies on the broad concept of creative communication in social sciences and education [62,63], healthcare [64,65], and business [66,67], but is rarely approached by BE and design researchers [68], even on collaborative design where communication matters the most. This issue may be rooted in an essential purpose of creative communication as to impress or engage the audience.…”

A Critical Review of Computational Creativity in Built Environment Design

Computational creativity in built environment (BE) design has been a subject of research interest in the discipline. This paper presents a critical review of various ways computational creativity has been and can be defined and approached in BE design. The paper examines a comprehensive body of contemporary literature on the topics of creativity, computational creativity, and their assessment to identify levels of computational creativity. The paper then proceeds to a further review of the implications of these levels specifically in BE design. The paper identifies four areas in BE design where computational creativity is relevant. In two areas—synthesis (generation) and analysis—there is considerable literature on lower levels of computational creativity. However, in two other areas—interfacing and communication—even the definition of computational creativity is not as defined and clear for the discipline, and most works only consider the role of computers as a supporting tool or medium. These open up future research opportunities for the discipline.

Hybrid Design Tools for Participatory, Embodied Sensemaking: An Applied Framework

In design, we often deal with complex problems that require participatory, embodied sensemaking to solve. There are abundant design tools available -both physical and digital -to support these activities. While digital tools have continued to gain presence in the design processes over the last decades, due to, e.g., widened availability, improved flexibility, and the potential to increase productivity, physical tools and analogue practices still hold a solid place in the design process for many designers. To bridge the gap between the physical and digital, and to benefit from the best of both worlds in tools for design, hybrid tools are being developed. This paper aims to identify design opportunities for future hybrid design tools, by exploring the characteristics of designing for participatory, embodied sensemaking, in the context of physical, digital, and hybrid tools.
