Session 3: Playful Learning Charrette
Playful learning will be defined as a critical need in the guidelines of the Framework for Design Excellence. The Framework for Design Excellence represents the defining principles of good design in the 21st century. Comprised of 10 principles and accompanied by searching questions, the Framework seeks to inform progress toward a zero-carbon, equitable, resilient, and healthy built environment. These are to be thoughtfully considered by designer and client at the initiation of every project and incorporated into the work as appropriate to the project scope. The Framework is intended to be accessible and relevant for every architect, every client, and every project, regardless of size, typology, or aspiration. The Framework for Design Excellence challenges architects with a vision of what the profession strives to achieve, the toolkit provides practical resources to help all architects achieve the vision.
Participants will use the tools and knowledge from the first two playful learning sessions to engage in an interactive charette with real clients. Participants will recognize the value of designing spaces that engage intergenerational audiences through playful learning tools and concepts.
Learning Objectives:
Charrette Project Descriptions will be emailed to all attendees prior to the charrette.
