Charrette Lab

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course provides an opportunity for students to learn about the charrette process and urban design methodology by assisting in follow-up and preparatory work for the Dean's Charrettes as well as consulting on research case studies as part of the School of Architecture's Housing and Community Regeneration Initiative. This course works at both a macro and micro level. We will explore all steps of the charrette process to see how they work together. At the same we will dive into the details of how to communicate a compelling narrative verbally, graphically, and strategically. Through this work you will gain professional experience by utilizing lessons from the classroom in practice and engage with clients on real world projects that will make an immediate impact in our region.
