Supporting Awareness in Creative Group Work by Exposing Design Rationale

When creativity is taken as a long-term, complex, and collaborative activity, support for awareness is required for group members to monitor the development of ideas, track how these ideas became narrowed, and understand how alternatives are being implemented and integrated by colleagues. In this paper, we investigate the effects of exposing design rationale to convey awareness, specifically ac...

A content account of creative analogies in biologically inspired design

The growing movement of biologically inspired design is driven in part by the need for sustainable development and in part by the recognition that nature could be a source of innovation. Biologically inspired design by definition entails cross-domain analogies from biological systems to problems in engineering and other design domains. However, the practice of biologically inspired design at pr...

Nature of creative analogies in biologically inspired innovative design

biomimetic auditorium design inspired by seashells

abstract nature has developed materials, objects and processes that function from the macro scale to the nano scale. the understanding of the functions provided by objects and processes found in nature can guide us to imitate and produce appropriate architectural forms. biomimicry is a science that derives inspiration for solutions to human problems through the study of natural designs, systems...

SCWID: A Tool for Supporting Creative Work In Design

Computer tools offer enormous benefits for the early design process such as remote collaboration, advanced visualization, and the ability to run a design. However, current tools fail to support many elements of creative problem solving, inhibiting the early design process. From the literature on design theory and creativity, and extensive low-fidelity prototyping, we developed SCWID: a tool for...
