You have to spell it out for them or they go off and do their own thing and expect you to love it!

It's more difficult to get a redesign once the walls have been moved too...

Out in the real world, as a jobbing designer, I wouldn't get very far by not listening to the client. The job is to listen to and understand the client's requirements then give them what they want, after all, they are paying you to do that pretty much. The trick is doing it with added skill, flair and good grace.
The last thing you want be doing is giving them "Chef's Vision", as I call it. This comes from an unfortunate but entertaining (for all the wrong reasons) work's trip to one of Terence Conran's eateries. When asked why we could not be served with some gravy and sauces, the dear waiter actually said: It's not part of Chef's vision".

Indeed. That Le Corbusier – bleedin' nightmare!
