Core Concept: The life of a building (top white boxes) is often compartmentalized and disassociated, while the life of its stakeholders are disparate and disaggregated (lower grey boxes). Critical decisions (CDP) take place at different points in the process and lead to a level of ‘desires’ encapsulated in the ‘finished’ built object (maximize, limit, or disregard). This capacity is ‘activated’ through users’ actions – i.e. chosen appropriation (implement, disregard, or innovate).
