The Odell approach to planning and design focuses on participation and leadership. We believe that two heads are better than one and that the owner should be a strong participant in the creation of the design product. Our interactive design process builds consensus between different interest groups about strategic issues, concepts and planning directions. We have found that the use of these quick graphic techniques to illustrate data gathered on-site is an effective means of communicating ideas and solutions. We have also found that by working on-site, in lieu of gathering information and going back to our office, we can test ideas as they occur with client representatives. This provides an open meeting atmosphere for our clients to offer opinions and challenge ideas in an interactive setting while allowing the true participation of key client/owner representatives in the planning process.
