Talk:Charrette

message: fyi Although I haven't worked on this article, I'm thinking of rearranging 
and slightly altering these paragraphs to make the entry more generic.
This is a favorite word of mine that I, and my friends, have for 30 years 
used to refer to mean *any* intense work effort -- although we knew of
course of that its main use was in art and architecture schools and institutes,
and its origin at the Ecole de Beaux-Art.  
Still the opening seems to partially reduce a common general word to a more specialized 
use.  I said "charrette" in 1978 for a session to finish a computer program, and 
similarly ever since. The immediate almost exclusive emphasis on designers, 
urban planning, etc. seems weird to me. Is this NCI thing hijacking the word?

replies: text: Interesting example.  It says "Anyone living within a half mile of Menlo Park probably knows the city will host a design "charrette" on Saturday, March 5, to create a fresh vision for the areas surrounding the new Facebook campus".  Yaris678 (talk) 13:09, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

message: This article details a procedure of sorts for doing a charette:
The Charette Procedure on mindtools.com
I like the fact that it is more specific about what needs to be done... but I'm not sure what it's provenance is.

message: The Boston area (with a remote Manhattan branch) had a popular chain of Charrette art and architectural supply stores worth mention.  It introduced many of us to the term charrette.  Alas, it closed in 2009.  https://www.universalhub.com/2009/charette-going-under
This probably deserves mention in the main article, though I'm unclear where. Here's a wayback snapshot from 2005 of their own self description: https://web.archive.org/web/20051125041444/http://www.charrette-corp.com/about/overview.html
