Collaborative design as narrative

TLDR
The use of narrative theory is suggested as a means to a detailed deconstruction or engineering of a collaborative design process, and an analytical device for the in depth exploration of the design space.
Abstract
Narrative theory or narratology is the systematic study of narrative and narrative structure [3]. It provides the necessary theoretical tools that can help scrutinize the various ways in which narrative is formed and is deciphered by an audience. In this paper, we suggest the use of narrative theory as: (a) a means to a detailed deconstruction or engineering of a collaborative design process, and (b) an analytical device for the in depth exploration of the design space.
