摘要
This paper considers how we may provide support for the development of general design principles in domestic environments. In particular, we examine the potential for using design patterns as a means of presenting ethnographic material and outlining design solutions. The paper reports on the development of an initial pattern language based on our studies of a number of domestic environments and offers a general structure for presenting these patterns. Finally, we briefly reflect on our experiences of developing an on-line set of patterns for this class of environment. © Springer-Verlag London Ltd.
