Abstract

In this paper, we propose a collaborative design method combining the informal power of creative session and the formal generative power of a mixed interaction model called MACS (Model Assisted Creativity Session). By using a formal notation during creative sessions, interdisciplinary teams systematically explore combinations between the physical and digital spaces and remain focused on the design problem to address. In this paper, we introduce the MACS method principles and illustrate its application on two case studies.
