Utzon's studio as a collaborative virtual environment

In order to investigate the design of virtual place for creative collaboration, I have modeled scenes from a real place of creative collaboration – Jørn Utzon's studios, which embody a number of principles of design for creal creative place . From this vantage point we may begin to draw conclusions about which elements of that place are important for creative collaboration, and how the qualities of those elements may be transported into collaborative virtual environments (CVEs). Categories and Subject Descriptors H.5.1 [Information Interfaces and Presentation] : Multimedia Information Systems – artificial, augmented and virtual realities. General Terms Design, Human Factors. Keywords Space, Place, Ba-principle, Loose Parts, Pattern Languages, Low Road Architecture, Collaborative Virtual Environments, Distributed Teams, Aesthetics, Jørn Utzon.
