The bridge: an environment for collaborative design learning

The idea behind the Bridge as a collaborative groupware arose initially with the need to find appropriate tools and environments to facilitate international design collaborations. In particular, this tool needs to support on-line collaborative activities in design learning where language is a barrier and conventional groupware fails to facilitate effective communication. Moreover, designers are inherently dependent on visual elements in all levels and phases of design development, something which current text-based groupware again fails to support.
