Collaborative international project 'Kitchen of the World' : a case study in multi-national groups undertaking design studio activity
This case study describes an undergraduate Industrial Design project involving three Universities from three different countries that have been brought together to experience the creative and working relationships concerning the design of a conceptual kitchen, its environment and the products within...
