I'm familiar with charettes from architectural clients I have and believe this is an approach architecte's use. From what I understand they will establish a set time frame - An afternoon for example - give the design challenge and then have individuals or teams all working on designs. They then collect everyone's designs and then share to look at the various approaches to inform the eventual design. the term itself may be from the architectural field.<div> <br></div><div>David<br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 7:56 AM, Eva P Svensson <span dir="ltr"><<a target="_blank" href="mailto:eva@epshumaninvest.se">eva@epshumaninvest.se</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hi all wise people!</div><div>Anyone having experience from a method called charrette? When I looked it up on Wikipedia it says this:<br><div style="display:block"><div>"A <i>charrette</i> is a method of organizing thoughts from experts and the users into a structured medium that is unrestricted and conducive to the creativity and the development of myriad scenarios.</div> <div>The word <i>charrette</i> may refer to any collaborative session in which a group of <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designers" title="Designers" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">designers</a> drafts a solution to a design problem. While the structure of a charrette varies, depending on the design problem and the individuals in the group, charrettes often take place in multiple sessions in which the group divides into sub-groups. Each sub-group then presents its work to the full group as material for future <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogue" title="Dialogue" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">dialogue</a>. Such charrettes serve as a way of quickly generating a design solution while integrating the aptitudes and interests of a diverse group of people. Compare this term with <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workshop" title="Workshop" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">workshop</a>."</div> <div>To me it sound very very much like an Open Space meeting!
