ABSTRACT

This chapter argues that uses graphic representation of the spatial proximities is not only very helpful but also essential in achieving effective communication in interactive review processes. it's not only that the claim is communicated effectively but also in a designerly way, a way that brings together policy, design, and regulation. The chapter focuses on arbitrary or unnecessary distortions that are common in the interactive review processes. The use of unnecessary technical language, excluding certain segments of the public by using jargon, and creating complexity to mystify the real issues are among the common distortions within the realm of language. It is important to emphasize that even though the graphics help in creating a shared understanding of the claim's context, their role goes beyond the realm of the objective world: they are effective in creating trust, in negotiating legitimacy, and in speaking a shared legible language.
