The Manufaktur: Supporting Work Practice in (Landscape) Architecture

  • Chapter
ECSCW ’99

Abstract

We describe fieldwork with (landscape) architects in which we identify key features of their work settings. We analyse the ways in which materials, many of them graphic and visual, are assembled, arranged and manipulated as an integral aspect of their work. We describe an early prototype of a 3D environment to provide a digitallyenhanced work setting, the organisation of which will emerge from use by practitioners.
