Narratives are important tools for understanding reality. For one, they enable to intuitively impose order in a verbal manner, which is both cheap and intuitive. Designers often rely on this ability for getting a grasp on the current situation, as well as for structuring the activity which follows. Therefore, to understand human design activity we need to understand how narratives are formed, when designing. Research to date has shed some light on classifying the types and contributions of narratives to design processes. However, little was said about the process in which narratives are developed from moment to moment by designers, when designing. Such systematic descriptions of this activity are essential for implementing similar capabilities in computational design systems. Addressing this gap, we set out to trace the formation of simple narratives step-by-step during design activity, by collecting and analyzing data from a spatial design task. Based on our analysis of the empirical data, we provide suggestions for improving current design computing frameworks, such that they can better support modeling this important practice. This brings us a step closer to implementing similar abilities in digital design systems that can design in a human-like manner in the future.
