[OSList] Charrette and Open Space ?

[Julie Stuart]

I'm also familiar with charettes from architectural clients. It is indeed a
collaborative process using a team of design experts. From my experience,
it tends to be a top-down process that allows the public to contribute to a
certain extent but not self-organized in the way we know OS to be.
