- Abstract in English : A low-to-moderate income mobile home community was used as an experimental case study project to test methods for generating a user-specific design for common grounds. An educational approach attempts to make residents aware of design possibilities and facilitate their involvement in the actual design process. The major lesson learned with respect to this case study is that prolonged dialogue and activities centred around the conceptual design stage are less productive than more tangible efforts
