Adaptability of collaborative design within an augmented space

This paper presents a research on the reuse of a collaborative design scenario with a co-presence of a situation of collaboration at a
distance. Our interrogations are about the adaptability of activities of collaborative design at a distance within augmented spaces
sheltering specific situations. Our objective is to observe the influence of space components variability on the activity and conceivers’
exchange quality. The paper presents the established method, the obtained data and the observations developed from the analysis of
initial and adapted situations. With reference to our analysis, it displays the evolution of design practices, in the field of design and
architecture, from constraints, means and work devices standpoints. We refer as well to the impact of ICT (Information and
Communications Technology) insertion on the way of exchange between collaborators.
