Coordinative practices in the building process: an ethnographic perspective

Coordinative Practices in the Building Process: An Ethnographic Perspective presents the principles of the practice-oriented research program in the CSCW and HCI domains, explaining and examining the ideas and motivations behind basing technology design on ethnography. The focus throughout the book is on generating ethnographically informed accounts of the building process and discussing the concept of cooperative work and coordinative practices in order to frametechnology development. The book is illustrated with real examples from the building process, reporting on cooperative work and coordinative practices found there. The result is a book that allows the reader to feel that he or she knows, from the point of view of the people working in the building process, what it is like to do this kind of cooperative work and coordinate it.
