WHAT IS A DESIGN WORKSHOP?
A design workshop is an intensive planning session where citizens, designers and others collaborate on a vision for development within their community. It provides a forum for ideas and offers the unique advantage of giving immediate feedback to the designers. Most importantly, the design workshop allows everyone who participates to be a mutual author of the plan!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
After a brief introduction of the purpose of the gathering, we will break up into groups including design professionals to tour the neighborhood and record your opinions. Following the tour, you will work with your group to outline your ideas. In the days that follow, we willl begin the process of developing a vision plan which will highlight your ideas!
Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?
