Abstract
The designer is the last one to act in chain of decision-making, because he is the one who translates the ideas into practical works. Everyone can/must contribute to defining the design decisions, on the basis of the vantage point provided by his or her particular discipline. But in the end it is the designer who defines what will ultimately be made or built. Before this, everyone is entitled to make all the comments and propose all the variables imaginable, but once the designer gets to work, there is no going back.
