CLIENT MEETING AND PRE-
CHARETTE
A participatory process is imperative to the strength of the final vision
found within this report. The first meeting with the client involves a
multi-hour facilitated conversation to understand the goals,
opportunities, and details of the project and all partners. Also included
in the initial client meeting is a deep-dive tour of the existing facility. The
information gathered in the client meeting drives the design direction for
the entire process. After the client meeting, the teams organize into
smaller task forces, such as site, systems, and interiors, to begin
implementation of design creation. The process continues to be
collaborative throughout, with multiple group presentations for feedback
and revision to ensure alignment with teams and solutions to project
goals. This year SDCA collaborated with the SCAD students from
Professor Kia Weatherspoon SCAD serve class. Professor Liset
Robinson served as the liaison. The Professors are located at the
Atlanta campus and are members of the Interior Design Department.
