Architecture Building Charrette
Wednesday, January 21, 2009, 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM
The College will hold a charrette calling on upper division undergraduate and graduate students in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and urban and regional planning to design immediate improvements to the Architecture Building. The first and second place designs will be awarded $750 and $250, respectively, with the winning design to be implemented in the fall.
Students will work together in groups of three to address one of three design problems:
- seating for a common space in the atrium, fourth floor, or first/second level transition
- individual work stations for the building’s studios
- a system of banners to improve the building’s visual quality
The charrette will begin with group registration at noon in the atrium, followed by a 15-minute Q & A at 1 p.m. Groups must submit their designs by 10 p.m. The designs will be judged by a panel of college faculty and students, and the winner will be announced Jan. 30.
