THE CHARRETTE

The tour, the presentation and the discussion had taken the better part of the morning and there wasn’t much time left, but several concepts for turning around this endangered neighborhood were illustrated by the charrette participants, who included local architects Ken Koense, AIA, Ted Lentz, AIA, Erin McKiel, AIA, Terry Olsen, AIA, Todd Rhoades, AIA, Diane Trout-Oertel, AIA, John Yust, AIA and landscape architects Steve Goltry, ASLA, ACP, Joel Odens, ASLA, and Julie Goller, ASLA. A good deal of work was generated in a short amount of time. See Appendix 3 for some of the drawings that were generated.

work while Ellen Biales, Assistant to City Council President
Kathy Lantry, (right) discussed ideas generated
during the brainstorming session with a local resident.

Julie Goller (left), Joel Odens (center) and Steve Goltry
(right) began their investigation by identifying the
key pedestrian routes through the neighborhood.

Charrette participants worked through lunch. From left to
right in the foreground are Todd Rhoades, Erin McKiel and
Ted Lentz. From left to right in the background are Ken
Koense, Terry Olsen and Andy Zhang, who has offered
to set up a blog for the Fourth street Preservation Project.

All too soon it was time for participants to wrap
up their presentations in preparation for the pin-up.
