Comprendere il bisogno, e’ la condizione primaria per il progetto.
La ricognizione e la comprensione del bisogno è la condizione primaria dell’atto creativo. Quando la gente pensa di doversi esprimere liberamente o procedere in maniera originale, questo in genere non da mai risultati creativi. Solo quando si entra nel problema e il problema diventa chiaro, allora la creatività può partire.
