Abstract
This paper reports on a design process of pervasive computing installations
for a children’s interactive library. The design process involved
a wide range of decisive parties of the domain and the process was designed
so that the collectively developed design concepts could suit the needs
and interests of the many parties. Narratives and sketches were used for
inquiries and communication, and the concepts and their iterations illustrate
the process of design and how the physical qualities of the environment
and the artefacts played a central role in the development of the concepts.
