A few years ago I organized a panel at a software developers conference on exactly that thread.

Our panel included:

   *    An architect, who designed houses (or additions) that
        people could move through comfortably, according to
        THEIR life style

   *    A furniture designer, who designed chairs (and other
        furniture) that fit people's bodies, that were
        ergonomically sound, and they related to the decor
        of a space

   *    An interactive exhibit designer, who designed media
        and teaching scripts for school children to learn
        about the marine environment.

Our theme was learning about user requirements. Much of the target audience had never thought about this at all. They dealt with data requirements -- not with people.
