Interesting case study of a collaborative project designing a waterfront park. Discusses who is involved, how they got involved, and why they are needed to help the project work out.

In order to keep up to date with Interior Design related news i regularly check these websites:
this website tends to have more 'out there' interior design rather than typical designs you see every day. It also has lots of other design aswell as art and interviews.
Freshome has a great mix of interviews with interior designers, furniture/products, existing interiors and even articles helping people design their homes.
MocoLoco has some really interesting posts with interiors, architecture and design in general. I also love the layout of this website! Its different to the usual generic blog.
Inhabitat has a lot of different articles, not necessarily to do with interior design, but as a lot of our projects have a sustainable side to them, as most projects will these days, the website is a great help when looking for some more eco friendly methods and materials.
An online magazine, with a little bit of everything and very modern, high quality designs.
