Charette (Design Meeting)

In April of 2011, archi-treasures facilitated a two hour design meeting or charette at Till Academy. The charette brought together 30 students, teachers, parents, design professionals, community members, and representatives from various departments at the University of Chicago. This discussion and planning meeting was not only an opportunity to brainstorm about possibilities for the school garden in the future but it was also a chance to create designs as well as set priorities and timelines. While there were many ideas discussed at the charette, the group consensus was to beautify the entrance of the school garden with an arbor that would include student artwork.
