Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore a less tech-dependent and more relationship-oriented kind of collaborative creative design. We start by building a reference framework through analysing social creativity, participative design processes and collaborative solutions. We explore these areas to identify how collaborative creative design is being practiced and discussed. We focus on the shift in the object of design from tangible to intangible elements, to then introduce the idea of connectivity as one element that needs to be considered and designed when dealing with complex systems. We propose the idea of connectivity as one focus in collaborative design. Finally we discuss the future directions of this new potential area of interest in collaborative creative design.
