on error-prone tasks. Throughout the thesis, I dually pursuit theoretical aspects of the design
process as well as issues of support environments initially, the literature is reviewed for weak
aspects of the design process, i.e. parts not supported by standard software tools. Our focus
turns on the 'breakdowns', which correspond to cognitive difficulties faced by designers
Interestingly enough, another research strand emphasizes on the recovery from such
difficulties seeing it as facilitation of problem re-framing and generation of ideas. It is
suggested that in order to facilitate that type of recovery transition, the decision-making
process should be assisted through the sharing of expertise among design stakeholders. [Continues.]
