Abstract

This paper presents a two months in situ case study analyzing the characteristics of designers' cooperative work through the use of "mediating objects". We suggest that the consideration of real and evolutionary practices and everyday complementary work tools helps to understand the various cooperative modalities between co-workers and offers good clues for the development of cooperative support systems.
