“…Studios are often investigated within a professional or technological context rather than an educational one and in disciplines other than Communication Design (Shaughnessy & Brook 2009;Vyas et al 2013). However, 'there is a demand for research that uses the studio or workshop as a primary site of investigation ' (Woodrow 2013, 3).…”

“…Links between pedagogy, student engagement and space can be seen in the research studies of Fisher (2005) In design research, studies appear to be inclined towards practice-led explorations within studio environments.

The studio is the primary site for learning in specialist Communication Design education worldwide. Differing higher education institutions, including art schools and university campuses, have developed a varied range of studio environments. These diverse learning spaces inherently create a complex fabric of affects. In addition, Communication Design studio education produces learning processes and methods of practice which provide affective sensory experiences for the students. Students may be sensitive to these sensory affects, yet the impact of these experiences may go unnoticed or unequivocally tolerated in the studio environment. This article examines the experiential impact of sensory affect occurring in contemporary Communication Design studio education: investigating the learning processes, within a specialist practice‐led discipline in the context of a studio environment. A preliminary study generated the question: ‘How might Communication Design learning address and exploit the sensory experiences occurring in studio education?’. Therefore this article contextualises how students might benefit from being aware of the affective experiences occurring inside studio education in future research studies. This research is grounded in collaborative practice with students in the field of Communication Design.

“…For example, office walls and desks are typically full of notes, post-it, sketches, prototypes and physical models. The material and physical aspects embedded in the design studio such as designer's practices, the use of artifacts and the space during collaboration, have a key role on the coordination of the creative activities [23]. Design artifacts (e.g.…”

Abstract-Designers adopt a large amount of generalpurpose tools for supporting their remote collaborative tasks. Each tool provides very diverse functionalities: from file sharing to instant communication and video collaboration. The designer struggles when filtering and combining the right information spread across the multitude of tools. This research extends McGrath's framework of task circumflex to map the collaborative demands of the design practitioner and proposes Peepdeck, a design exploration to support them. Peepdeck is a dashboard that assembles information scattered across multiple tools in a personalized and organized way. Through two design iterations followed by evaluations of the user interface, several requirements were identified for supporting collaboration awareness in design teams. Insights confirmed the relevance of combining information from different but already familiar tools, rather than attempting to replace them. It was identified the importance of optimizing for visual scanning, supporting search of content and allowing users to customize the tool.

“…Distributed design activities cannot depend anymore on the collaboration mechanisms facilitated by the spatial and artifact properties of the design studio. Artifacts have a key role in the way designers coordinate their team activities [15,13]. Extra emphasis must be given on maintaining the highly material character of design practice through digital artifacts.…”

This paper describes the design and implementation of Alice, an online collaboration system that integrates several commercial cloud storage services and reconfigures team member's interactions into a time-oriented visualization. Designers use social media and other general-purpose tools to collaborate across organizations due to their accessibility and ease of use and learning. However, such tools are cumbersome in covering the specific collaboration needs of design activities. Alice elicits ad hoc collaboration in design teams by facilitating team members to use their own set of tools in a seamless way. Participants highlighted that Alice serves as a central reference for the coordination of teamwork by providing an overview of rhythms and temporal relationships of design activities. Our work suggests that collaboration tools could be portrayed as technologies of time production. This reveals opportunities for future research on how the temporal agency embodied by the collaboration tools affects collaborative activities in design.
