Guiding the approach is an intensive, interactive design process in which volunteer design firms work simulatneously to develop conceptual ideas for three real-life sites selected by community-based organizations. Three design firms volunteered to participate in the challengeto create protoptypes for reintroducing manufacturing into Philadelphia's neighborhoods.
