Beaucoup de vagues and Angling merged to form a charrette. Immediately each group member shared information on its design concept, navigation of the spaces, and how to incorporate the books. We briefly discussed methods of synchronizing the spaces; which wasn’t as atrocious as I’d imagine, considering Angling’s complex exterior structure. The thought of a (new) group name circulated for a moment, then Justin made up the word “Curvangular”, we all concurred and moved on. Following, we swiftly established subgroups. These groups inadvertently formed; I was already taking notes regarding concepts and books, Phillip had pulled up and consolidated the models for each group, and Nikki had a pen and sketchbook in hand. Naturally, Angling’s group members migrated to the area that they were most comfortable. Justin and I wrote the concept statement, Nikki and Faith drew the diagrams, while Phillip and Anna worked on a perspective view from the sketch-up files. It was just perfecto!
Beaucoup de vagues and Circuit merged for a charrette following Angling. We attempted to follow the 1st blueprint, since we accomplished each deliverable seamlessly. No so much! We found difficulty in every category, with the exception of stacking the buildings. Oddly enough, the building (Angling’s) that was most complicated to combine, we were able to achieve quality work and found delight in doing so. While, the building (Circuit’s) that was least complex, the work produced was less than desirable.
As the mixture of colors in the title suggests, we found that charrettes can be a brilliant method to solving design problems, due to the diversity / (mixture) of talent on a project.
4 + 4 = 8 charrette
