Abstract
The purpose of the present transdisciplinary research is to identify how designers’ characteristics and behaviour ascertain different approaches to the design process towards understand design processes underlying mechanisms and effective design practices. The present paper reports a case study providing insights on the characteristics of designers from different disciplines that share the same working environment and contribute to the creation of interactive design solutions. The content of the designers’ statements are analyzed to identify variants and invariants of designers’ approach.
Keywords: design disciplines, design cognition, design approach, variant and invariant characteristics
