The research is grounded in an empirical study of the inhouse development of groupware and the work practice of system developers. Through an appropriation of Christopher Alexander’s architectural pattern language, it is proposed that patterns have the potential to be a practicable tool that both embodies the principles and methodology of activity theory, and fits the requirements of this design process.
