Attention to detail: annotations of a design process

Published:14 October 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper takes the form of a photo essay that exposes the design process at a level of detail seldom found in traditional academic publications. With this format we document the development of a set of devices for exploring the microclimate of the home, with the intention of advancing current approaches to communicating (and understanding) practice-based research.
