3-2 Charrette - January 29, 2011
Charrette The Charrette focused on generating a sustainable plan for the Recreation Center,

picnic area, and pond area of Adams Park, located in Southwest Atlanta. The layout of
the Charrette space provided a U shaped configuration of tables, with breakout session
tables along the perimeter, and worked beautifully to allow group discussions as well as
individual team work.

First, a tour of the building and grounds refreshed the memories of some committee
members and introduced new volunteers to the scope of the work. After an introduction
to the project by City Officials and an overview of the history of the site by UGA BLA
Students, breakout sessions allowed groups to conduct focused work.

The Sustainable Design Team was led by Reed Thomas representing USGBC-GA, and was
based on the LEED for New Construction/Major Renovations certification; the Systems
group by Michael Dudley of ASHRAE; Interiors/Architecture was co-led by Liset Robinson
representing IIDA and Richard Nelson of AIA; and Site Design was led by Charles Sears
and Joni Payne Young of ASLA.

Each team set their own objectives for the day, and deliverables for the booklet. Many
of the members of the teams took work home to finish up during the following week.

The Graphic booklet was then compiled by the Graphics team led by Charles Sears, with
editing provided by Co-Chair Liset Robinson. The booklet was presented to City Officials Saturday morning, January 29, 2011 at the Adams Park Recreation Center.
a few weeks later.

Charrette participants arrive and set up to begin at 9am.
