Design Charrette Conclusions

1. Why is it important to recognize challenges and barriers during the charrette and then identify solutions?

It is important to recognize challenges and barriers so you can explore many possibilities and use the best one


2. Among the ideas or thoughts that you prepared for the charrette, were there any that were disregarded by the group? Why? Do you think it was the right decision?

There were a few, including moving the a la carte line near the entrance and widening the line, but those would only have served to create as many new problems as they got rid of. It was a good decision to get rid of these ideas.


3. What is the value of using a charrette to investigate the feasibility and development of a building project? Describe specific advantages over a traditional approach in which the client meets with an architect and the architect develops the plan.

It allows all possible problems and solutions to be explored. It is at an advantage against a traditional client-architect meeting because it is more flexible in its development


4. Identify and explain a potential drawback of the plan your team drafted.

The line will still be crowded and confusing, because we did not do anything to specifically address that problem, but it will not clog up the door anymore.
