Design is a central element in my career: I am an architect (registered in California), I study the practices of design, I have created tools for design collaboration, and I am an award-winning designer. In fact, design has shaped my approach to teaching and research. My research has been to apply the methods, lessons, and ways of seeing and acting of design to the realm of industrial research.
This unique approach produced the seminal computer supported cooperative work system known as the media space and contributed to the development of a number of shared drawing tools, culminating in the Drawstream Station, all of which employ video in novel ways. Being a student of media, as well as design, has led to instrumental applications of media, most recently in developing exhibits and the overall program for “XFR: experiments in the Future of Reading”. These have been reported in numerous technical publications and conference proceedings, as well as the popular press.
The studies of process and the technological interventions I've created have resulted in a number of novel insights; “RePlacing Space” (Harrison and Dourish, 1996) is an oft-cited paper on the behavioral framing of real and virtual space.
This interwoven design and research approach continues with a study of the practices of design review in many disciplines. The goal is to provide local tactics for design review practitioners and strategies for designing more effective design reviews. It is also the central organizing idea I use to teach human-computer interaction. HCI is rapidly changing with new paradigms of technology and use, the only way to teach students for life-long adaptability is for them to understand how they can design the process of de-sign. I am currently leading an effort to establish an International Journal of Interaction Design that will provide a scholarly venue to publish in-depth articles relevant to this approach.
