To what does it refer? I agree with your point about involving the intended audience in the design of new spaces. I am beginning a project to do just that with the design of the new addition for the New York Hall of Science. I was thinking of trying to use the internet as a way of engaging a broad audience in thinking about the future design. A web site with drawings, proposed exhibitions, program spaces...I'm not sure about this at this point. How many here would like to join in a discussion about the design of a new 50,000 square foot space in a science museum in New York? That isn't a rhetorical question.
