We have chosen four topic areas for student teams to address. A few of the questions to explore for each topic are listed below. There is bound to be some overlap in topic areas. Teams are encouraged to visit with each other and exchange ideas during the week. Each topic should be examined on a regional, community and site basis.
Teams can decide if they wish to focus on a specific site to illustrate their ideas.
However, recommendations for specific sites should be based on an analysis of regional systems. At least two faculty members will be in the Plant Sciences building during each charette session. All students are required to attend Monday afternoon and Friday morning sessions unless you have other scheduled classes that conflict. All scheduled sessions will be held in studio or presentation spaces in the Plant Sciences building, College Park. Before you come to the opening convocation, we ask that all students review the material in this introductory packet.
