Abstract

Narrative theory or narratology is the systematic study of narrative and narrative structure [3].

In this paper, we suggest the use of narrative theory as: (a) a means to a detailed deconstruction or engineering of a collaborative design process, and (b) an analytical device for the in depth exploration of the design space.
