What is a charrette?
In the Beaux-Arts period French architecture
students would work on their projects in their homes and
then transport them to the College on a charrette, or
horse-drawn cart. While on the cart, students
would be racing to put last-minute finishing touches on
their projects. The term has been handed down, and
today is used to describe a short-term intense work
session. |

neighborhood resident survey, can be found on the main
