Description
Summary:Occurring more frequently and with greater diversity among participants, collaboration is an activity without substantial theory or process development in design; it happens in an ad hoc manner. Collaboration may involve inter-disciplinacy, multi-disciplinary, inter-institutional or international pacticipation, each of which adds complexity to the process. This essay, based on conversations with designers engaged in collaborative activity and complemented by reflective writings, briefly examines collaborative history in design, explores definitions of the term, reflects on theoretical limitations to mapping collaboration, reveals qualities of collaborative individuals, describes pcoblems in process and explores an interdisciplinary discourse. The essay concludes with identification of variables that characterize collaborative projects. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
