Design Charettes
One of the most fun and most lively components of Workshop is the design charettes. The design charettes are often the highlight of the event and give us the opportunity to work in teams on a topic of our choice. Each charettes is hosted by a Landscape Architecture firm and typically is based on a project that they have worked on. When you first sign in for workshop, you will have the opportunity to sign up for a charette that interests you the most. The charettes cover a wide range of topics and you are sure to find something that will interest you.
How they work
At the end of the first day, we will all meet up and the firm hosting the charette will introduce themselves and explain the scope of the design project. The specifics of each charette will vary, but for many of us, this is our first experience working with professional LAs on actual projects. It can be intimidating at first, but the few hours we have to work on the project will fly by.
