Design Charrette
Most of our planning and design projects include a Design Charrette that can range from 2 - 10 days depending on the size and scope of the project and amount of public participation. Our typical Design Charrette is a multi-day workshop engaging planners, architects, engineers, market analysts, city staff and officials, and various stakeholders to develop a cohesive vision.
Working as a whole group for some activities and in specified teams for others, TSW focuses on creating sustainable places while considering:
- Connectivity and circulation
- Zoning and land uses
- Retail and housing options
- Development identity
- Architectural character and scale
- Key building placement
- Historical sensitivity
- Public open spaces
- Environmental opportunities and constraints
- Infrastructure systems
- Regulatory tools and policy for implementation
The Design Charrette typical concludes with a presentation to stakeholders to gather feedback about the final concept plan and the overall process.
