The present study investigates the relation between sketching and communication in teams
during the idea generation process in early concept generation. A quasi-experiment study …

The present study investigates the influence of common sketching in teams on the idea
generation process in early concept generation. Thirty-six teams of three design students …

In this paper, we present an exploratory protocol study on the use of different communication
channels during design sketching. We focus on how individual designers share their mental …

This study consists of four experimental idea generation meetings, which explore whether
functions of sketching in design activity are also valid for idea generation meetings. The …

Designers largely use freehand sketching as the one way of communicating their ideas
during the design process. This research aims at investigating the sketching in the …

This study consists of four experimental meetings, which explore whether functions of
sketching in design activity are also valid for idea generation meetings in design. The …

Numerous concept generation methods have been developed that can assist an engineer in
the initial phases of design. Unfortunately, limited empirical data is available to guide users …

Sketching-related activities are considered as an essential form of communication in the
early phases of a design process. In the presented study, it is argued that both the sketching …

This paper describes an empirical study of student designers' sketching activities in new
product design teams. A comprehensive list of metrics associated with sketches is identified …

This paper reviews how sketching can support distributed student design teams in the early
phases of concept design. When working in the limited communication channels of …
