Site Organization Charrette

Char rette (n): A collaborative planning or design session, often involving interested third parties such as public officials and environmentalists, in which problems relating to a proposed project are discussed and solutions adopted in a limited time frame.

Site Organization Charrette

Directions: 1. Form 3 – 4 teams. 2. Tables have existing site plans, “puzzle pieces”, rolls of trace paper and some pens. 3. Move the puzzle pieces around on the site to explore different potential organizations. 4. Sketch, jot, note on trace paper thoughts and ideas. 5. Develop a concept that the team can share with the larger group. Don’t worry about making it look good – it’s the idea that counts! 6. Share out your group’s discussions and concept with the room. Remember, there are no wrong answers.
