Jenlink and Bela H. Banathy to offer a cross-disciplinary approach to examining dialogue as a communicative medium. In this Compendium, the contributing authors set forth their ideas, experiences, and perspectives as the path of a \u003cem\u003elearning journey\u003c\/em\u003e--a journey of new meaning, of new understanding, and of becoming self-aware of design conversation as future creating and consciousness evolving. In particular, this volume comes at a time when we as a global society are faced with the question of how we shape our actions and in turn shape our future, through conversation that is focused on resolving global conflict and fostering world peace. The volume evokes in the reader a realization that our greatest potential rests, in no small measure, with our collective capacity for cultural creativity and in our capacity to achieve new levels of consciousness through dialogue and design conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Compendium is organized into five themes: \u003cem\u003eSection I\u003c\/em\u003e examines foundational perspectives of design conversation.
