How to get credit?

Community Design Charrettes:
An Innovative Course in Community Planning

HIPR 4680\6680
Three Credit Hours for successful completion

The purpose of this course is to provide students a real world opportunity to work side-by-side faculty, local decision makers and students. The course will require students to attend two charrettes in a 12-month period while registered for classes at UGA. Lectures will precede or follow each charrette experience. (Lectures are mandatory only for the specific charrette on which the student is participating.) Students will learn facilitation skills, how to develop design guidelines and how to use national standards to complete façade rehabilitations.

Each charrette will be a 2-4-day experience in a small Georgia town, coastal community or a neighborhood in an urban area. All costs will be covered and orientation lectures will be scheduled for times that will not conflict with other classes.

To register for this course see your program advisor. Additional questions? Please contact Pratt Cassity (pcassity@uga.edu) or Julia Reed (jreed@uga.edu).

What is my role?

When you participate in a charrette all expenses will be paid. That includes: transportation to and from the charrette location, a copy of the final report on CD and a chance to experience decisions on the local level like you’ve never experienced them before.
