IF A CRITICAL DIMENSION of a national design policy were to stimulate local efforts—programs that build on a region's unique character and design assets—then the result might be something like DESIGN San Antonio. In detailing the genesis of this organization, Richard Howe and Boone Powell demonstrate that thought, personal energy, and the leadership of a few influential people willing to serve as design champions may be as important as money in creating an effective design policy.
