Book Collaborative Design

Download or read book Collaborative Design written by Stephen A.R. Scrivener and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design occurs in a rich social context where the effectiveness and efficiency of social interaction and collective performance are key to successful outcomes. Increasingly, design is being explored and developed as a collective, collaborative, participatory, and even community process. The heightened recognition of designing as a social process has stimulated interest in collaborative design. This book contains the proceedings of the international conference "CoDesigning 2000" held in Coventry, England, September 2000. During this meeting exponents from a wide range of design domains came together to present and discuss perspectives on and new knowledge and understanding of collaborative design, and the evidence for enhanced design performance through collaboration. Within this volume different motivations for, conceptions of, and findings about collaborative design are addressed in 50 contributions by different research groups. Structured into 6 sections according to the main fields of interest, it provides a survey of the state of scientifically based knowledge and trends emerging from collaborative design research and their implications for a wide range of domains.

Book BECOMINGS OF SPACE AND COLLABORATION

Download or read book BECOMINGS OF SPACE AND COLLABORATION written by Lauren Marie Garskie and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars such as Kenneth Bruffee, Jim Trimbur, Andrea Lunsford, Lisa Ede, and William Duffy have all argued that a key component of writing studies and writing pedagogy is collaboration. As such, Douglas Walls, Scott Schopieray, and Danielle DeVoss (2009) in Hacking Spaces note, "We [writing instructors] are keenly aware when space interferes with such collaboration" (p. 277). This dissertation explores the connection of space and collaboration in a space intentionally designed to foster collaboration. This study is situated in the Collab Lab, a newly built collaborative space located in Bowling Green State University's library. I examine how collaboration is understood in the Collab Lab and what are the collaborative activities people are performing in the Lab. I also examine how the space affects the way people perform these collaborations and why people use the space in that way for their collaborations. To do this, I observed and mapped people in the Collab Lab. Additionally, I surveyed users in the space and conducted a loosely scripted interview with the director of the Lab. Design thinking methodology guided my methods of data collection and data analysis. My findings show that the flexibility of the Collab Lab accommodates a variety of kinds of collaboration and collaborative activities. The space promotes flexibility in its design, but in doing so, it is also fulfilling people's wants and needs of the space then. The Lab is affecting the performance of collaboration with its focus on vertical working surfaces and openness, which promotes sharing and encourages people to be face-to-face.

Download or read book The City of Tomorrow written by Carlo Ratti and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since cities emerged ten thousand years ago, they have become one of the most impressive artifacts of humanity. But their evolution has been anything but linear—cities have gone through moments of radical change, turning points that redefine their very essence. In this book, a renowned architect and urban planner who studies the intersection of cities and technology argues that we are in such a moment. The authors explain some of the forces behind urban change and offer new visions of the many possibilities for tomorrow’s city. Pervasive digital systems that layer our cities are transforming urban life. The authors provide a front-row seat to this change. Their work at the MIT Senseable City Laboratory allows experimentation and implementation of a variety of urban initiatives and concepts, from assistive condition-monitoring bicycles to trash with embedded tracking sensors, from mobility to energy, from participation to production. They call for a new approach to envisioning cities: futurecraft, a symbiotic development of urban ideas by designers and the public. With such participation, we can collectively imagine, examine, choose, and shape the most desirable future of our cities.

Book Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Water Diplomacy

Download or read book Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Water Diplomacy written by Shafiqul Islam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the concept of Water Diplomacy as a principled and pragmatic approach to problem-driven interdisciplinary collaboration, which has been developed as a response to pressing contemporary water challenges arising from the coupling of natural and human systems. The findings of the book are the result of a decade-long interdisciplinary experiment in conceiving, developing, and implementing an interdisciplinary graduate program on Water Diplomacy at Tufts University, USA. This has led to the development of the Water Diplomacy Framework, a shared framework for understanding, diagnosing, and communicating about complex water issues across disciplinary boundaries. This framework clarifies important distinctions between water systems - simple, complicated, or complex - and the attributes that these distinctions imply for how these problems can be addressed. In this book, the focus is on complex water issues and how they require a problem-driven rather than a theory-driven approach to interdisciplinary collaboration. Moreover, it is argued that conception of interdisciplinarity needs to go beyond collaboration among experts, because complex water problems demand inclusive stakeholder engagement, such as in fact-value deliberation, joint fact finding, collective decision making, and adaptive management. Water professionals working in such environments need to operate with both principles and pragmatism in order to achieve actionable, sustainable, and equitable outcomes. This book explores these ideas in more detail and demonstrates their efficacy through a diverse range of case studies. Reflections on the program are also included, from conceptualization through implementation and evaluation. This book offers critical lessons and case studies for researchers and practitioners working on complex water issues as well as important lessons for those looking to initiate, implement, or evaluate interdisciplinary programs to address other complex problems in any setting.
