Design Creativity 2010 part 22. What is ‘design creativity’? It is impossible to answer this question without considering why human beings can – and do – ‘design’. Design creativity is instrumental in not only addressing social problems faced across the world, but also evoking an innate appreciation for beauty and a sense of personal contentment. | Signs of Collaborative Ideation and the Hybrid Ideation Space Tomás Dorta1 Annemarie Lesage1 Edgar Pérez1 and . Christian Bastien2 1 Université de Montréal Canada 2 Université Paul Verlaine - Metz France Abstract. We describe the signs of Collaborative Ideation CI that have been observed in face-to-face design settings using two methodological tools the CI Loop and the Design Flow pattern. The CI Loop which includes body gestures was first observed in this study and captures the participants design conversation while collaborating. The Design Flow assesses the designer s experience while designing. The main goal is to better understand collaborative ideation from the user s experience point of view in order to better assess collaborative design tools. We present two protocols short with students long with professionals done in the Hybrid Ideation Space HIS a face-to-face CI tool. The HIS has previously been evaluated and compared to traditional and digital tools and appears to enhance the collaborative ideation process. This study also proposes an eventual relationship between CI Loop and Design Flow pattern at micro during a minute and macro levels during a longer period . Keywords Collaborative ideation Design Flow CI Loop Hybrid Ideation Space 1 Introduction Vital signs in medicine traditionally refer to body temperature blood pressure pulse and respiratory rate. They show the more basic body functions that are used to detect medical problems. In design research there is a lack of recognized vital signs to assess the essential aspects of the design activity. This can become an important problem because improperly assessed collaborative design tools affect designers basic functions to the point of choking design creativity. In this article we present two methodological tools to better observe the activity of collaborative ideation or conceptual design and capture the information it provides. They could give a new richer picture of what collaborative ideation .
