*The concept of charette comes from the French word for “cart.” The word began use during the days of the L’Ecole Beau Arts, the first school of architecture, when a professor sent around a cart to the student housing at the time the design assignment was due. Many students, setting the precedent for today’s all-nighters and last minute design changes, would hop onto the cart that was collecting the project models and final drafts, thus capturing a few last minutes of work as they rode the cart towards its final destination.
TEAM: Architects, project manager, water, surveyor, structural, and road designer all at work designing and computing together.
TEAM: Three architects discuss our designs-in-progress with the structural engineer.
TEAM: ICM director James Kamau speaks clearly and directly about his vision and desires for the campus master plan as the architects stand by making adjustments.
CAMPUS MASTERPLAN: At the conclusion of Day 1, the design team presented 5 distinctly different master plan designs to James. His wonderfully clear responses directed us to draw from a few and dispose the others.
CAMPUS MASTERPLAN: After one week of designing, we presented a masterplan that took into account specific building design and all the disciplines present and necessary to construct.
