Abstract:
With the enormous development in digital aids for the designer, a key question emerging is which tool to use in which design stage and for what in order to keep momentum in the design process, in particular related to more traditional tools like sketching and physical models. Based on literature review and practical student experience, this paper identifies and categorises a range of visualisation tools, related to the design process, and, since such an overview is missing in literature, collects, reviews and reflects on opinions on when to apply which tool. The findings suggest that one tool should be decisive in each phase of the design process, with the other two supporting the decisive tool.
