Hi Jonas,
Jonas>> I am pointing towards some examples of how metaphor
has been used for design in complex sysems. Considering that many of
them are quite famous, and are reflected by design approaches that are
used today in complex systems, they are hopefully not complete
failures.<end>
It would be interesting to see evaluations of complex systems interventions
you reference whose design significantly depended on metaphor. Can you point
me to any evaluations that the designers (or sponsors) have done where
metaphor was a significant determinant of the design?
Best wishes,
Terry
