The design process requires coordination between professions that have different ways of seeing. Using ethnographic data from a building project, this paper explores how architects and engineers mobilize visual objects to coordinate their professional visions around a design issue. The findings articulate the visual practices whereby design professionals move from a fragmented towards a shared professional vision. In this move, they cease looking at the design issue from within their disciplinary perspective, and begin taking inspiration from each other's. They further adjust the emergent shared professional vision, by iteratively narrowing and broadening its focus. The paper contributes to the practice perspective in design studies, explaining how different ways of seeing are coordinated through practical engagement with visual objects.

设计过程要求具有不同观看方式的专业之间进行协调。本文使用建筑项目中的人种学数据，探讨了建筑师和工程师如何动员视觉对象来协调他们对设计问题的专业看法。研究结果阐明了视觉实践，使设计专业人士从零散的职业走向共同的职业愿景。在此举中，他们不再从学科的角度看待设计问题，而是从彼此的灵感中汲取灵感。通过迭代地缩小和扩大其关注范围，他们进一步调整了新兴的共同专业视野。本文为设计研究中的实践视角做出了贡献，解释了如何通过与视觉对象的实际互动来协调不同的观看方式。
