Abstract

The ever-growing complexity of design projects needs the collaboration of multidisciplinary design teams. Communication gaps arise between stakeholders who belong to different design communities. Moreover, the coevolution of design communities and their systems requires an open environment to support emerging needs. The Hive-Mind Space (HMS) model has been proposed to support cultures of participation and to tackle the co-evolution of users and systems. MikiWiki is an HMS prototype, implemented to explore the use of boundary objects and habitable environments to facilitate communication and tackle co-evolution of users and system.
