This book was written to support community involvement in the
design process, to help prevent negative outcomes that can result
from a top-down design approach. The combination of community
involvement and design is, at least in literature, not very
extensive. Although much has been written about stakeholder
involvement, this is often not directly related to design
processes, which - most importantly - deprives community members of
the opportunity to design their desired future themselves. The
Design Charrette: Ways to Envision Sustainable Futures provides a
theoretical foundation establishing the benefits of organizing a
design charrette for community-based planning, supported by many
practical examples. The book includes sections on collaborative
learning, practical guidance, theory and case studies in many
different contexts: long and short charrettes, urban and rural
subjects, and Dutch, Chinese, Australian, Indian and European
examples. Part I: General Theory offers a detailed overview of the
charrette process, a chapter on innovations in organizational and
community learning and a chapter on shifting paradigms in the
design charrette. Part II presents a number of case studies,
including the INternational Conference on Renewable Energy
Approaches for the Spatial Environment (INCREASE); charrettes
accomplished in two days in the communities of Sea Lake and Bendigo
in Australia; a chapter on lessons for the future, describing rural
participatory design in Rajasthan, India; a description of learning
by practice in a high-pressure student atelier; a chapter entitled
Design Charrettes for Sustainable Building in China and more. The
Design Charrette challenges the conventional wisdom that good
design by itself will bring about the benefits the designer
envisions. By demonstrating and analyzing the effectiveness of
design charrettes in personal development and learning, and as a
way to share desired future pathways, the book benefits everyone
who may be leading, considering or participating in a design
charrette.
