DESIGN CHARRETTE

The day-long architectural charrette opened with two inspirational talks, one from Kate Pearce regarding the current Dorothea Dix development, and one from Todd Zima, of mir collective, who addressed socially ethical development. Teams of architects then spent the day exploring future possibilities for the site, with emphasis on establishing programmatic relationships that address the legacy of the site.

An "Expert Panel" joined the teams for lunch to discuss their work in social organizations throughout the city; this enhanced the designs by encouraging each team to take advantage of the local assets and local work happening in the city, as well as provided a lens through which to evaluate ideas.
