| Summary |
"This volume identifies the issues involved in setting up, running, and improving a virtual design studio. Scenarios in terms of organisation and technology are looked at from a practical point of view, showing how different aspects of the virtual studio can be made a reality. The authors assess the potential benefits, such as improved communication and collaboration, and also look at the following key areas: how people collaborate in using shared computer resources, how to organise and manage a distributed workspace efficiently, how people represent and communicate design ideas in electronic form."--BOOK JACKET. "Examples of work from an actual virtual design studio are used throughout to illustrate the text."--BOOK JACKET |
