This paper presents a new deslgn style which rs called "Global Design" based on designers' collab, oration across time and space and proposes the "Actrvlty Cham Model" for the knowledge medrum which realizes "Global Design" : This model not only represents desigil, "produet. infotmation shch as drawimgs which is obtained as a result of design processe, s but also represents dynamic design piqcess informati6n including evolution histories of design product information and design rationale by recording design activities and links between the activities, and enables designers to share the design process information. The model can provide causal explanations based on subjective constraints as well as teleological explanations for the design rationale, and can be used with less difficulty in capturing the design rationale. This "Activity Chain Model" is implemented in a system called "POET Knowledge Media" which realizes interactive searching for the design process information by navigating "Activity Chains" and facilities to support capturing the design rationale. Evaluation of the system through a design simulation shows effectiveness of this model in capturing, storing and transferring the design rationale in cooperation with product information handling tools such as 3D-CAD systems.
