Consensus Design offers a practical step by step guide to
co-design; an increasingly important consideration for architects
as they compete for work. The text moves from identifying the
methodology of the process to developing a series of principles and
practical steps which illustrate how consensus design can be
established. For easy reference, flow charts show the process of
achieving consensus design and include variations for different
types of project and different groups of people. It gives clear
timings so that agreements can be reached within a specific time
frame, and also features a number of case studies to illustrate
consensus design principles in practice. Case studies include
projects in the UK, US, and Sweden. Consensus design isn't just a
utopian ideal. It's the only meaningful way in which people can be
involved in shaping where they live and work. It can have an
influence on social stability, crime-reduction, personal health and
building longevity, all of which in turn have monetary and
environmental cost implications. Its consideration can also greatly
help architects win work and commissions. Day argues that when
places are designed by professionals for people, many things
obvious to the residents are overlooked. When they are designed by
lay people, the design can suffer from the lowest common
denominator factor. When places are designed by both it tends to
end up in conflict. However, Consensus Design shows that co-design
is not doomed to either conflict or banality if it is managed
correctly.
