Expert and Situated Actions in Collaborative Design

摘要

This paper considers one of the fundamental questions behind research and implementation into collaborative design systems for architectural design: To what extent is design situated and to what extent is it expert behaviour? Extending from this question arises implementation questions for CSCW systems for architectural design. The authors propose a cognitive model of design and tested the model experimentally. From the results of the experiments, a discussion is presented of the expert and situated facets of the design process which have been manifested.
