Abstract

While multidisciplinary collaboration is increasingly considered as a prerequisite for innovation in design, it is unclear what has been studied and what to investigate next. To address this, we conducted a systematic literature review on multidisciplinary design collaboration, focussing on what has been found, and how these studies have been implemented. Following a PRISMA approach, 17 papers were selected for a critical review. A co-occurrence analysis found that the selected literature covered five themes centred on communication, all highlighting the importance of shared understanding in multidisciplinary design collaboration. Further analysis revealed biases and differences between the methodological approach followed in the studies. For future research, we suggest investigating two under-explored areas of design collaboration: distributed work and digital/service-oriented design activities.

对多学科设计协作的实证研究的系统回顾:发现、方法和挑战

虽然多学科合作越来越被认为是设计创新的先决条件，但目前还不清楚已经研究了什么，下一步要研究什么。为了解决这个问题，我们对多学科设计协作进行了系统的文献回顾，重点关注已经发现的内容，以及这些研究是如何实施的。按照PRISMA方法，17篇论文被选中进行批判性审查。共现分析发现，选定的文献涵盖了以沟通为中心的五个主题，所有这些主题都强调了在多学科设计合作中共享理解的重要性。进一步的分析揭示了研究中所采用的方法方法之间的偏差和差异。对于未来的研究，我们建议调查设计协作的两个未被开发的领域:分布式工作和数字化/面向服务的设计活动。

期刊介绍： Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
