The concept of purposefully weening people off their aids is interesting. Personally, I have not seen many tools that I would consider using myself — this field strikes me as a particularly challenging one.

Anyhow, I was chasing references and couldn’t find citation #9; you may want to add it in.

Take care,
Chris

I’m reminded of the Big Dig case study in “Rescuing Prometheus” and of the experiences of my own mother, a member of the Housing Commission in my home town. Instead of pitching the virtues of the various projects under consideration for a set of vacant properties near our house (a Walgreens, a condo building, and transitional apartments for low income individuals), the conversations and debates have centered around external issues like building height, increased traffic flows, and the likely tenants of each project, not on the merits or benefits to the occupants. I suspect that years of such experiences have trained architects to deliver very different presentations than the “elevator pitches” of startups and designers.
