Design moves in situated design with case-based reasoning

Abstract This paper depicts the process of design operations in situated design by a cognitive approach. A descriptive model is proposed for understanding design situatedness on low-level behavior and cognition. A series of similar sites are tested in a design experiment to identify the design situations and make case adaptation, and novice and experienced designers are examined in their design moves by case-based reasoning by freehand sketches or computers, respectively. The comparative analysis from the above observation and implications for future case-based reasoning systems are presented.
