Objective
The objectives for the second phase are:
- To build and test a prototype of a computational work environment which
- supports the (creative) concept formation process in the form of an inspirational environment, based on the metaphor of "Wunderkammer";
- provides a co-operative work space, "Manufaktur", which supports distributed teams of participants in 'managing' the complexity of the design process, in representing design parameters, links and responsibilities, and in maintaining an overview of the requirements and status of a project; (with the interfaces/inhabited spaces of "Wunderkammer & Manufaktur" being developed themselves as aesthetic, designed objects).
- To test if such a new context of support helps architects and landscape architects to engage in practices of open planning. The result of DESARTE will be a robust, case-based prototypal work environment for architectural practice, together with a description of specifications of an industrial product. We expect the results of DESARTE to contribute on the conceptual, technical and practical level to the building of collaborative work environments which support architects and planners in coping with the openness, complexity, and informality of their practice.
Particular to the approach of DESARTE is that it is grounded in practice, ethnography of and participatory design in (landscape) architectural work as two complementary methods. This requires a tight knitting of systems design activities with work studies at the user sites, and this in all phases (early design, testing, technical integration, "post-bricolage" development), so that prototype design remains connected to actual design practice.
These results will be exploited at two levels. Co-operation with additional future end-users from all over Europe will widen the grounding of prototype development in actual design practice, and help building a network of potential end-users. The prototype will be positioned and assessed in relation to the products and development strategies of different software companies and potential partners for the development of an industrial product will be mobilised.
DESARTE is concerned with the practices of 'aesthetic production' and their technical support. Its overall rationale is to create a new kind of work environment for architects and landscape architects. While much of the present effort focuses on developing tools for single tasks (drawing, rendering, file transfer, access to product information, etc.), we propose to build a flexible computational infrastructure which supports the complexity and openness of designers' work and its collaborative nature.
