The document discusses an idealized participative design approach that is constrained only by technological and operational feasibility. It involves multiple stakeholders with different objectives working together to solve interrelated problems and extend the boundaries of feasibility. The goal is to facilitate participation, unleash creativity, and generate consensus around ideal-seeking solutions.
