Andrew,

I facilitated a daylong open space sponsored by a community group of architects, planners, and activists. The purpose was to generate community input for renewing a famous neighborhood in San Francisco, which was given to the city planning department to inform their own planning process with this neighborhood.

There were tables covered with maps and photos at each session of the open space, along with flipcharts to capture the proceedings. It was not a charrette, but the architects told me it felt like a charrette.

We created a high quality report. City planners were present, however, the sponsor did not have any guarantees that the report would be utilized in the final plan. I did not learn (two years later) what the final plan said.

Excellent, yes the archives did indeed help! I found some interesting posts from 2004 about urban design/planning (the real focus) that mentioned something called Charrettes. I found some further info online, at the National Charrette Institute (NCI) (http://www.charretteinstitute.org) and the Charrette Center (http://www.charrettecenter.net) websites. The latter has a wealth of information to aid anyone wanting to host a Charrette.

Is there anyone on this list who has experience of a Charrette?

HI Andrew!


If I am not totally wrong I recall a story about an office who
was designed after an OS meeting – was it Joelle (?) who told that story –
I have a vague memory about a move in to a new place…? Hmm, maybe a look
in the archives could help you J


I also know that the barn we were in for the OSonOS in “Swenmark”
2003 was built after an Open Space – maybe Gerard can fill in on that…


All the best


:o)


Eva

Thanks Doug!



Of course, if there are any other (lesser known) case studies out there of
working with planning and design of new buildings and/or urban areas, it would
be great to hear about them! :)

Andrew--



Is the something big the World's Fair pavillion for AT&T? You might take

a look at http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/wiki.cgi?OpenSpaceExamples

--it is the third bullet.



Perhaps Harrison can fill you in with more details if that's the one,

Andrew.
