HCI design technique or...


Sound like a familiar HCI methodology ? 
Quote{ 
Community-Based Planning refers to XXXX, Inc., research project aimed at developing ways for better understanding the needs of clients by using a variety of techniques. These include surveys, interviews, and questionnaires aimed at providing information about the organization; ethno- graphic observations and documentation aimed at understanding how the organization operates *********** and how it uses various relevant technologies; and, finally, codesign, involving users in the process of formulating design aims and design solutions. Community-Based Planning has led to the development of tools that are applied as part of XXXX's consulting services or made available to independent design firms. Both the principles and the tools associated with Community-Based Planning have been used in the case of ThoughtForm.

Actually it's also a design methodology for the design program for interior design for a new office 

The interior was designed by Michael Fazio, of Archideas, Chicago. The design program as well as the final solution were based on Community-Based Planning.
