Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The research focuses on remote co-operative work and particularly the study of group work sequences during design meetings. We make the assumption that remote synchronous design can be described by the two groups of activities (communication and product modelling). The aim of communication activities is to help the designers to build a common understanding of the present situation. We will present a case study related to remote project reviews within the Volvo Group. We will introduce the concept of activity and propose a classification in relation to the literature. This theoretical framework will then allow the analysis of the case study. It will reveal the evolution of a specific object including graphics and textual annotations.
