Rather than focusing on the technology or how to apply it, the reader is presented with an interdisciplinary framework for understanding, organising, running and improving virtual design studios both in professional and educational practice. The authors assess the potential benefits, such as improved creativity and collaboration, and highlight the areas in which our understanding needs to improve: How people collaborate in an environment where interaction is mediated by shared computer resources How to organise and manage a distributed workspace efficiently How people represent and communicate design ideas in an electronic form Of interest to both design professionals and researchers interested in computer-mediated collaboration, this volume will also be of interest to anyone who needs a clear picture of what this new technology can do for them.Maher, Mary Lou is the author of 'Understanding Virtual Design Studios', published 2000 under ISBN 9781852331542 and ISBN 1852331542.
