Paper Abstract:
|
This article examines similarities between wiki principles and modern design process. It introduces an idea of a zone of product design modeled after Vygotsky's zone of proximal development. This zone is understood as an area that team members explore by means of tools provided by designers, a certain level that is exclusively achieved as the result of combined effort. Designer's responsibility, in these terms, is to constantly keep the team in the zone of product design and support it as the concept of a product is being refined and deepened. It is demonstrated that group's capacity for reflexion and evaluation of its own activity is essential for working with the zone of product design. The main theses of the article are illustrated by concrete examples of wiki-like processes inside Yandex. |
