I'm familiar with charettes from architectural clients I have and believe this is an approach architecte's use. From what I understand they will establish a set time frame - An afternoon for example - give the design challenge and then have individuals or teams all working on designs. They then collect everyone's designs and then share to look at the various approaches to inform the eventual design. the term itself may be from the architectural field.
